Getting this error and don't understand why: name.rb:13:in `new': wrong number of arguments (4 for 0) (ArgumentError) 

class Name
  attr_reader :title, :first_name, :middle_name, :last_name,

  def initialize(title, first_name, middle_name, last_name)
    @title = title
    @first_name = first_name
    @middle_name = middle_name
    @last_name = last_name
  end

end

name = Name.new("Mr.", "Jon", "James", "Walz")
puts name.title + " " +
  name.first_name + " " +
  name.middle_name + " " +
  name.last_name

Hey, I think you just need to drop that trailing comma after :last_name in your attr_reader.
