I don't know what is wrong here.

Please could you tell what I'm doing wrong here it keeps on giving me the compiler error.

SequenceDetector.cs
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class SequenceDetector
    {
        public bool Scan(int[] sequence)
        {
            return true;
        }
    }
}
RepeatDetector.cs
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class RepeatDetector : SequenceDetector
    {
        public override bool Scan(int[] sequence)
        {  
              for(int i=1; i < sequence.Length ; i++)
              { 
                   if(sequence[i] == sequence[i - 1])
                   {
                        return true;
                   }
              }
              return false;
        }
   }
}

Hi Tojo,

Your Scan method of your SequenceDetector is not set as virtual.
