The Method Arguments are not working, I keep getting the answer 4. Is there a work around for this assignment?

def add(a, b)

puts "Adding # {a} and # {b} puts a + b end

add(2, 3) add(5, 5) add(6, 6)

Hi! At first glance you have some syntax mistakes there:

  • Extra spaces in "#{}"
  • String must end with closing quote
  • Method calls should start with new line

Please, use Markdown Cheatsheet below to properly format your questions in the future :)

I believe it should look something like:

def add(a, b)
  puts "Adding #{a} and #{b}"
  puts a + b
end

add(2, 3)
add(5, 5)
add(6, 6)
