If you're moving from another languages like JavaScript or Python or Java or C++ or C# or even Go, every class implementation has a constructor method ( which is called initialize in Ruby ) which controls how new instances are created on the same class itself. It like a blueprint of how your new instance will be created.
Now regarding your the challenge, i think you got it all wrong. But it has an easy fix. The challenge wants you to create a new initialize method in your class implementation. Now , since we need to give title attribute to our instances, so initialize method needs to take an argument of title and sign to an instance variable called @title (it can be named anything but for best practices it needs to be descriptive). To sum it all up , thIs is how your code should look like:
class Name
def initialize (title)
@title = title
end
def first_name
"Metal"
end
def last_name
"Robot"
end
end
