I was doing so well up until now, basically I don't understand what the argument is .
def hello (a, b)
puts "#{a}, #{b}, Whats your name?"
puts a + b
end

Treehouse TeacherHi there! Ok you went all out here. It's important when doing a challenge to try not to do anything it doesn't explicitly ask for. Even if functional, this can cause the challenge to fail. But this challenge simply wants you to define a function named hello that takes one argument. When we say "argument" we mean piece of information coming into the function from another piece of code. Take a look at my solution:
def hello(name)
end
This defines a function that takes one argument called name. Hope this helps!

Treehouse TeacherI'm not sure I understand the question. I've worked as tech support for networks. I repair computers and provide customer support for end users. I studied computer science at a university ages ago. But then I stopped programming for about 15 years. I'm just getting back into it and everything is so much different
