Below the Name class, instantiate a new Name instance set to the variable name with any title you choose.
class Name
name = Name.new
def initialize(title) @title = title end
def first_name "Metal" end
def last_name "Robot" end end
What title do i have to choose?
class Name
def initialize(title)
@title = title
end
def first_name
"Metal"
end
def last_name
"Robot"
end
end

When you instantiate a new class object, you instantiate it outside of your class. e.g.
class Name
def initialize(title)
@title = title
end
def first_name
"Metal"
end
def last_name
"Robot"
end
end
name = Name.new(name) #Name.new takes an argument for the initialize method.
