Courses Plus Student 2,831 PointsRuby Loops Module: Contact List Code Challenge
Here is the Code Challenge question: Assign the value of the key name to the return value of the method get_name() in the contact hash. Assume that get_name() returns a string.
Here is my code:
def get_name()
contact = {"name" => "", "phone_number" => "" }
print "Enter the contact's name? "
contact["name"] = gets.chomp
return( contact["name"] )
end
contact_list = []
contact_list.push(get_name())
puts contact_list.inspect
In a separate workspace, as expected, the code yields: ["<name entered at prompt"]
I must not be understanding the Code Challenge as I receive the following prompt upon submission of my answer:
"Bummer! Errno::EN...."

Assign the value of the key name to the return value of the method get_name() in the contact hash. Assume that get_name() returns a string.
Here's simple way, you need to assign the value of the method get_name() into name.
contact_list = []
contact = {"name" => get_name(), "phone_number" => "" }

Thanks for the help. I guess I just did not understand the question.
