5,784 Pointsincorrect contact.rb code
Hi, I'm on the Building an Address Book section of the Learn Ruby course and trying to debug some of my code. When I run contact.rb, I get the error message "undefined local variable or method "addresses". I checked my code and everything seems ok...the structure of that block mirrors the phone_number block. Any suggestions? Thank you!
require "./phone_number"
require "./address"
class Contact
attr_writer :first_name, :middle_name, :last_name
attr_reader :phone_numbers, :address
def initialize
@phone_numbers = []
@address = []
end
def add_phone_number(kind, number)
phone_number = PhoneNumber.new
phone_number.kind = kind
phone_number.number = kind
phone_numbers.push(phone_number)
end
def add_address(kind, street_1, street_2, city, state, postal_code)
address = Address.new
address.kind = kind
address.street_1 = street_1
address.street_2 = street_2
address.city = city
address.state = state
address.postal_code = postal_code
addresses.push(address)
end
def first_name
@first_name
end
def middle_name
@middle_name
end
def last_name
@last_name
end
def first_last
first_name + " " + last_name
end
def last_first
last_first = last_name
last_first += ", "
last_first += first_name
if !@middle_name.nil?
last_first += " "
last_first += middle_name.slice(0, 1)
last_first += "."
end
last_first
end
def full_name
full_name = first_name
if !@middle_name.nil?
full_name += " "
full_name += middle_name
end
full_name += " "
full_name += last_name
full_name
end
def to_s(format = "full_name")
case format
when 'full_name'
full_name
when 'last_first'
last_first
when 'first'
first_name
when 'last'
last_name
else
first_last
end
end
def print_phone_numbers
puts "Phone Numbers"
phone_numbers.each { |phone_number| puts phone_number }
end
def print_addresses
puts "Addresses"
addresses.each { |address| puts.address.to_s('short') }
end
end

32,867 PointsIn your def initialize try @addresses instead of @address.

32,314 PointsOn line 6 your have : attr_reader :phone_numbers, :address It should be: attr_reader :phone_numbers, :addresses
And in your def initializer - on line 9 you have: @address = [] It should be: @addresses = []
That should take care of it!
