Update the provided VideoGamesController.Detail action method to use ActionResult for its return type instead of a string.

In the action method, return the result of a call to the base controller's Content method. Keep the content the same by passing the string literal "Welcome to the Video Game Detail page!" to the Content method. Bummer! In the 'Detail' method, are you returning a call to the 'Content' method? Restart Preview Get Help Recheck work VideoGamesController.cs

This task has two instructions. The first one is: "return the result of a call to the base controller's Content method.", but instead of calling that method, this code is instantiating a new ContentResult object and returning it.

Then the second instruction says: "Keep the content the same by passing the string literal "Welcome to the Video Game Detail page!" to the Content method". But this code contains the string literal "Hello from comic books controller" instead.
