5,638 PointsIn the TodoList class fill in the empty? method to return a boolean value
I've tried index = 0 if todo_items > 1 puts false else puts true end
class TodoList
attr_reader :name, :todo_items
def initialize(name)
@name = name
@todo_items = []
end
def add_item(name)
todo_items.push(TodoItem.new(name))
end
def empty?
index = 0
if todo_items > 1
puts false
else
puts true
end
end
end

32,867 PointsHi Tracey,
You want the empty? method to return true or false, not print to standard output. I got a pass by checking the length of the @todo_items array as so:
class TodoList
attr_reader :name, :todo_items
def initialize(name)
@name = name
@todo_items = []
end
def add_item(name)
todo_items.push(TodoItem.new(name))
end
def empty?
if todo_items.length >= 1
return false
else
return true
end
end
end
