12,960 PointsHi Victor, I guess you get stucked somewhere between 3th and 4th, first of all the 3th task say "Inside the Name class, create a method called title that returns the @title variable."
and you are writting
def title
@title = []
end
in this part, you are overriding the actual title value you assign in the initialized method with an empty array, it should be just
def title
@title
end
and in the last task it say "Call the title method on the name instance." and you are writting
name = Name.title
as you are assigning a title method of the Name class (which does not actually exists) so you are getting an error, you need to call the title method of your current Name instance, that you previously assigned to the name variable, so it should look like this
name.title
the final code should look something like this
class Name
def initialize(title)
@title = title
end
def first_name
"Metal"
end
def last_name
"Robot"
end
def title
@title
end
end
name = Name.new('hello')
name.title
hope this can help you, happy coding!
