contact list

contact_list = []

contact = {"name" => "", "phone_number" => "" }

Assign the value of the key name to the return value of the method get_name() in the contact hash. Assume that get_name() returns a string

How do i write it?

My attempts :

                       1.     get_name() = contact["name"]
                       2.    get_name() = contact[""]

Thanks guys!!

contact.rb 
contact_list = []

contact = {"name" => "", "phone_number" => "" }

get_name() = contact.each_value ["name"]

All you have to write is get_name() where the "" are.

contact = {"name" => get_name(), "phone_number" => "" }

Hope this helps!
