Hey Monica,

You seem to have way more code that what the challenge is asking for. It didn't ask for a puts statement and didn't ask for a variable to be defined.

The challenge only wants you to define a method named "hello" that takes one argument.

Below is the corrected code for your reference. If it doesn't make sense, I do strongly recommend rewatching the first two videos of the course before moving on, as this is fundamental in what is to follow. :)

def hello(arg)
end
