I'm pretty sure this code is correct. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
def create_shopping_list
hash = {"name" => name }
return hash
end

is looking for a variable called name
. You'll need to have the value side of the arrow be a String literal with your name in it for instance.
def create_shopping_list
hash = {"name" => "Sharon" }
return hash
end
