Now that we know how to use arrays and hashes, we're going to build a small program that makes a grocery list for us. In this video, we'll add methods to create our list and also add items to it.
Code Samples
Here is the code we write in the video. Follow along using Workspaces!
def create_list
print "What is the list name? "
name = gets.chomp
hash = { "name" => name, "items" => Array.new }
return hash
end
def add_list_item
print "What is the item called?"
item_name = gets.chomp
hash = { "name" => name }
return hash
end
list = create_list()
puts list.inspect
