1,600 PointsHaving a hard time with this question.
This contact.rb file is part of a larger program. Elsewhere in the program, we've defined a get_name method that takes no arguments, and returns a string. The code currently in contact.rb creates a contact hash with a "name" key that has an empty string as its value. Update the code to call the get_name method, and assign the return value of get_name to the "name" key in the contact hash
This is my code contact_list = [] def get_name contact = {"name" => "", "phone_number" => "" } get_name=["name"] end
contact_list = []
def get_name
contact = {"name" => "", "phone_number" => "" }
get_name=["name"]
end

19,323 PointsHiya Alan! The challenge says get_name is a method in some class in a program , so you dont have to override it. You're overriding the method. Also, get_name takes no argument and it returns some kinda string, right? Moreover, challenge wants you to assign the value of "name" key in "contact" hash to the resulting string returned by the method get_name.
In case you ge stuck again , here is the code for reference:
contact_list = []
contact = {"name" => "", "phone_number" => "" }
contact['name'] = get_name

No need to define get_name method
