def say_hi puts "hi" end

define a method error

def say_hi puts "hi" end

Bummer: Looks like you defined a "say_hi" method, but did you also call it?

Question is "But did you also call it?"

hello.rb 
def say_hi
  puts "hi"
end

Hi Fraser Henderson 👋

Your method is defined perfectly! But your code is not being ran until you're calling the method 🙂

def say_hi
  puts "hi"
end

say_hi

Adding the method call below your definition your code should pass the challenge tests as expected!

Hope this helps! 😃
