Create a method called add_list_items that returns an array. It does not need to read from standard input.

HI there,

Strange challenge, this one!

I got through it with:

def add_list_items
  return []
end

I hope that helps !

Steve.

That just returns an unnamed empty array. Quite possibly the most useless function ever - and badly named too!
