Why do you need to override GetHashCode when overriding Equals in C#?
Hello everyone! I started learning C# and encountered an unclear situation. I have a simple class `Person` with fields `Name` and `Age`. I want two objects to be considered equal if they have the same values in these fields. So I overrode the `Equals` method in my class.
Here is the code example:
```csharp
class Person
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public int Age { get; set; }
public override bool Equals(object obj)
{
if (obj == null || GetType() != obj.GetType())
return false;
Person other = (Person)obj;
return Name == other.Name && Age == other.Age;
}
}
```
Everything works fine when comparing via `Equals`. But I noticed that Visual Studio gives a warning: `'Person' overrides Object.Equals(object) but does not overrid
