It seems your issue is likely the space between Name.new
and the (
.
Give this a shot:
name = Name.new("Mr", "Ally", "", "Cuccurullo")

9,886 PointsFrom at first glance, your issue is with the attr_reader and attr_writer
attr_reader(:title, :first, :middle, :Last)
attr_writer(:title)
You've got parenthesis that should not be there, you've also got a capital L in last and you've got :title in both reader and writer, it should be in just writer (or accessor if you've reached that part).
Instead, your code should read.
class Name
attr_reader :first, :middle, :last
attr_accessor :title
def initialize(title, first, middle, last)
@title = title
@first = first
@middle = middle
@last = last
end
end
name = Name.new ("Mr", "Ally", "", "Cuccurullo")
puts name.title = " " +
name.first + " " +
name.middle+ " " +
name.last
puts "title: #{name.title} "
name.title = "dr"
puts "title: #{name.title} "

4,411 PointsI know this is old, but I wanted to just see if those solutions actually solved the problem. The solution, I think, is actually where it says
puts name.title = " " +
name.first + " " +
name.middle+ " " +
name.last
I think you meant to put a '+' rather than the '=' . That should fix it, no?
