Override the Scan method to return true if any value in the array is a repeat of the value immediately preceding it.

Can some one have look in code and give few pointers why i have error message error CS1525: Unexpected symbol )', expecting.',thank you in advance.

SequenceDetector.cs 
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class SequenceDetector
    {
        public virtual bool Scan(int[] sequence)
        {
            return true;
        }
    }
}
RepeatDetector.cs 
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class RepeatDetector : SequenceDetector
    {
        public override bool Scan(int[] sequence)
        {
            foreach(int sequance in int)
            {
                int i = 1;
                if(sequence[i] == sequence[i - 1])
                {
                   return true;
                }
                else
                {

It looks like you have the right basic idea.

Perhaps you only need a few hints:

  • your foreach expression syntax is not correct — but you don't really need foreach here
  • you can make use of more of your existing code with a simple for loop
  • remember not to "return false" until the entire loop has finished checking for duplicates

I'll bet you can get it from here.
