I keep getting the 'address ' variable is not defined
class Address attr_accessor :kind, :street_1, :street_2, :city, :state, :postal_code, :address
def initialize(kind, street_1, street_2, city, state, postal_code, address) @address = address @kind = kind or '' @street_1 = street_1 or '' @street_2 = street_2 or '' @city = city or '' @state = state or '' @postal_code = postal_code or '' end
class Address
attr_accessor :kind, :street_1, :street_2, :city, :state, :postal_code, :address
def initialize(kind, street_1, street_2, city, state, postal_code, address)
@address = address
@kind = kind or ''
@street_1 = street_1 or ''
@street_2 = street_2 or ''
@city = city or ''
@state = state or ''
@postal_code = postal_code or ''
end
def to_s(format = 'short')
address = ''
case format
when 'long'
address += street_1 + "\n"
address += street_2 + "\n" if !street_2.nil?
address += "#{city}, #{state} #{postal_code}"
when 'short'
address += "#{kind}: "
address += street_1
if street_2
address += " " + street_2
end
address += ", #{city}, #{state}, #{postal_code}"
end
address
end
end

The challenge is asking "Below the Address class definition, initialize a variable called address which will be a new instance of the Address class."
To do that, outside of the Address class you want to create a variable named address set to equal Address.new(with all required params). e.g.
class Address
attr_accessor :kind, :street_1, :street_2, :city, :state, :postal_code
def initialize(kind, street_1, street_2, city, state, postal_code)
@kind = kind or ''
@street_1 = street_1 or ''
@street_2 = street_2 or ''
@city = city or ''
@state = state or ''
@postal_code = postal_code or ''
end
def to_s(format = 'short')
address = ''
case format
when 'long'
address += street_1 + "\n"
address += street_2 + "\n" if !street_2.nil?
address += "#{city}, #{state} #{postal_code}"
when 'short'
address += "#{kind}: "
address += street_1
if street_2
address += " " + street_2
end
address += ", #{city}, #{state}, #{postal_code}"
end
address
end
end
address = Address.new("Home", "1 some street", "Ste A", "Anytown", "US", "11122")
