Can't figure this out.

Not sure why wrong:

contact_list = []

contact = {"name" => "", "phone_number" => "" } contact['name'] = get_name() contact['phone_number'] = get_phone_number() contact << contact_list[]

Help!

contact.rb 
contact_list = []

contact = {"name" => "", "phone_number" => "" }
contact['name'] = get_name()
contact['phone_number'] = get_phone_number()
contact << contact_list[]
