9,180 Pointsto_s method
I am replication the to_s method as used in practice, but it says the format is incorrect....
class BankAccount
attr_reader :name
def initialize(name)
@name = name
@transactions = []
add_transaction("Beginning Balance", 0)
end
def balance
balance = 0
@transactions.each do |transaction|
balance += transaction[:amount]
end
balance
end
def debit(description, amount)
add_transaction(description, -amount)
end
def credit(description, amount)
add_transaction(description, amount)
end
def add_transaction(description, amount)
@transactions.push(description: description, amount: amount)
end
def to_s
puts "Name: #{name}, Balance #{balance}"
end
end

8,934 PointsClose! You simply need to return
the value instead of using puts
.
def to_s
return "Name: #{name}, Balance: #{balance}"
end

65,469 PointsYou are doing great! However, the challenge isn't asking you to print (with puts) the result out, but is asking you to return it like what Andrew Hill said. Add this to the BankAccount class instead of you to_s method:
def to_s
"Name: #{name}, Balance: #{balance}"
end
