Help needed pushing a hash to an array in a method

Question

The task is: Now that the addtransaction method exists, make the addtransaction method append a hash to the @transactions array. The hash should have the keys description and amount, as symbols, and values that match the arguments to the method.
This is what I've done - and it's not passing. Any suggestions?
class BankAccount
  attr_reader :name
  def initialize(name)
    @name = name
    @transactions = []
  end
  def add_transaction(decription, amount)
    @transactions.push(description: description, amount: amount)
  end
end
```bankaccount.rb
class BankAccount
  attrreader :name
  def initialize(name)
    @name = name
    @transactions = []
  end
end
```

Hey Caitlin!
This is a little tricky, but here is what I did:
Ruby
def add_transaction(description, amount)
  @transactions.push({:description => description, :amount => amount})
end

This function uses the .push function to add the hash {:description => description, :amount => amount} to the already existing @transactions array. Does that make sense?
