Just to confirm, the block has to have the same name as the method that's calling it?

You can pass in anything to the block which is a local variable. So in that video show_numbers do |number| could be |n| or |num|
You can also use names inside of the setter and getter blocks which don't have to be the same.
Is this what you mean?

16,038 PointsI mean 'show_numbers' do |number| ... has to be the same as the method name 'def show_numbers'
