Hiya there! I know that question couldnt have made it more obscure about the final result. In task 1, you basically had to assign the value of name key to get_name which thows a string. Similarly, in task 2, The key phone_number needs to be assigned to get_phone_number which throw a string as well. And in the last task , you have to append the contact has to contact_list. Here is the code in case you get stucked:

contact_list = []

contact = {"name" => "", "phone_number" => "" }

contact["name"] = get_name
contact["phone_number"] = get_phone_number
contact_list << contact
