Need help with the final objective in the Ruby Blocks course

I need assistance with the final objective in ruby blocks. It says using the call method, change the header in the print header file.

Is there supposed to be a call method present in here? I did not see or hear any mention of a built in call method throughout the course thus far so I am a bit confused with what it is asking. The code should be attached.

calling_blocks.rb 
def print_header(&block)
  puts "-- Header --"

  puts "-- End of Header --"
end

Never mind, this can be closed. I just remembered the block.call method.

def print_header(&block)
  puts "-- Header --"
  block.call
  puts "-- End of Header --"
end

I had forgotten about the block.call method, simple mistake.
