For some reason when I run contact.rb I've got
Jason Vitsinsky
Vitsinsky, Jason .
Nick A Pettit
Pettit, Nick A.
with a " ." after Jason on the second line while in the video it is without any "." Where did I made a mistake?
my code is the following
class Contact
attr_writer :first_name, :middle_name, :last_name
def first_name
@first_name
end
def middle_name
@middle_name
end
def last_name
@last_name
end
def last_first
last_first = last_name
last_first += ", "
last_first += first_name
if !middle_name.nil?
last_first += " "
last_first += middle_name.slice(0, 1)
last_first += "."
end
end
def full_name
full_name = first_name
if !@middle_name.nil?
full_name += " "
full_name += middle_name
end
full_name += " "
full_name += last_name
full_name
end
end
jason = Contact.new
jason.first_name = "Jason"
jason.middle_name = ""
jason.last_name = "Vitsinsky"
puts jason.full_name
puts jason.last_first
nick = Contact.new
nick.first_name = "Nick"
nick.middle_name = "A"
nick.last_name = "Pettit"
puts nick.full_name
puts nick.last_first

You missed the @ in the def last_first ... so the program added a "." in the variable middle_name
