hey ! you already have the contact variable declared as an instance of the Contact class, same thing goes for the address_book variable that is an instance of the AddressBook Class, you just have to append the contact variable inside the array called 'contact' in the AddressBook class, using this lasts instance ( address_book) :

contact = Contact.new
contact.first_name = "My"
contact.last_name = "Name"

address_book = AddressBook.new
address_book.contacts.push(contact)  # or address_book.contacts<< contact

Also, you cannot add "end" or it won't pass
