I am totally stumped on this question If someone knows the answer and can explain I would be very appreciative.
class Address
attr_accessor :kind, :street_1, :street_2, :city, :state, :postal_code
address = Address.new
def address(kind, street_1, street_2, city, state, postal_code)
@kind = kind or ''
@street_1 = street_1 or ''
@street_2 = street_2 or ''
@city = city or ''
@state = state or ''
@postal_code = postal_code or ''
end
def to_s(format = 'short')
address = ''
case format
when 'long'
address += street_1 + "\n"
address += street_2 + "\n" if !street_2.nil?
address += "#{city}, #{state} #{postal_code}"
when 'short'
address += "#{kind}: "
address += street_1
if street_2
address += " " + street_2
end
address += ", #{city}, #{state}, #{postal_code}"
end
address
end
end

30,003 PointsHey ray! Sometimes it can be confusing when reading the question, but what it's asking for is creating a new variable called "address" and passing in a argument to create a new address!
Try something like this
#Code that's already in challenge.
address = Address.new('My_Home', '123 home St.', 'home Rd.', 'Seattle', 'WA', '12345')
Make sure you understand whats happening there and don't just copy/paste and move on :)
