I feel like this code should be correct. I have consulted other forum posts to check and I can't see where I am going wrong.
I keep getting the error message:
NameError: undefined local variable or method `found' for Todo
class TodoList
attr_reader :name, :todo_items
def initialize(name)
@name = name
@todo_items = []
end
def add_item(name)
todo_items.push(TodoItem.new(name))
end
def find_index(name)
index = 0
found = false
todo_items.each do |item|
if item.name == name
found = true
break
end
index += 1
end
end
if found
return index
else
return nil
end
end

if found
return index
else
return nil
end
is outside of the end above it :) They are outside of the function! Move those lines above the end keyword, and see if that works.
