I am stuck here getting the error "contact_list is not in the hash" i belive
contact_list = []
contact = {"name" => get_name(), "phone_number" => get_phone_number() }
contact_list.push(contact)
def get_name
print "Enter name: "
gets.chomp
end
def get_phone_number

65,469 PointsThe challenge never asked you to define the get_name()
and get_phone_number()
methods.
You should never write code that the challenge didn't ask, for it will respond in a Bummer!.
Also, why are you appending contact
to contact_list
twice?
This is a solution, but remember, there are multiple ways to solve problems in programming:
contact_list = []
contact = { "name" => get_name(), "phone_number" => get_phone_number() }
contact_list << contact
