To define a class in Ruby, you use the "class" keyword and make sure to use the "end" keyword to make the closure of the class.
class BankAccount
end
The second part of the challenge is asking for you to create a function called "initialize" for BankAccount.
1 The "initialize" needs to accept a parameter called "name".
2 the parameter needs to be assigned to the class variable name (@name)
3 finally, create a new class array called @transactions
class BankAccount
def initialize(name)
@name = name
@transactions = Array.new
end
end
