3,484 PointsAdding empty method and returning true and false.
I am getting the result when I am doing it separately but not sure if this is what is expected, because I keep getting message "Bummer! Try again" . I must be going wrong somewhere for sure but cant figure out.
class TodoList
attr_reader :name, :todo_items
def initialize(name)
@name = name
@todo_items = []
end
def add_item(name)
todo_items.push(TodoItem.new(name))
end
def empty?
count = 0
count = todo_item.length
if count == 0
puts "true"
return true
elsif count > 1
puts"false"
return false
end
end
end

Treehouse TeacherI'm of the opinion that outside the challenge, your code would probably work. However, challenges are picky about what information you put in them. Try not to do things it doesn't specifically ask for. In your case you've included a couple of "puts" statements and introduced a variable "count" which it probably isn't expecting. Take a look at my code to see how I passed the challenge.
def empty?
if todo_items.length == 0
return true
elsif todo_items.length > 1
return false
end
end
