Question: Modify the scream method to increment the screams key of the @actions hash before printing out that the monster screams.
Code:
class Monster
attr_reader :name, :actions
def initialize(name)
@name = name
@actions = {
screams: 0,
scares: 0,
runs: 0,
hides: 0
}
end
def scream(&block)
print "#{name} screams! "
@actions[screams] = @actions[screams] + 1
end
end
monster = Monster.new("Fluffy")
monster.scream { puts "BOO!" }

- increment the
:screams
key before print statement, not after. - also, your Hash key lookup isn't correct, you need to use the symbol as key.
def scream(&block)
@actions[:screams] += 1
print "#{name} screams! "
end
