Define a method named say. The say method should take one parameter (name the parameter whatever you want). In the say m

None of the terms were making any sense to me so I went back and rewatched the previous video.

This is what I tried, it made no sense to me, but it worked to pass the challenge.

def say(whatever)
   puts whatever
end

say("Ruby")

I guess I'm not understanding the point in listing "whatever" and "puts whatever" only to never define it as "Ruby". Seems like you would define whatever as "Ruby" [like whatever = "Ruby"] but you never do that so I don't understand it.

The error message gives you a clue: "Bummer: undefined local variable or method `hi' for main:Object". Since "hi" is not enclosed in quotes, it is taken to be an identifier but nothing by that name has been defined.

But the instructions say to "pass the string "Ruby" as an argument.", so that's what should be there anyway.

I can't get this to work either. This is what I wrote:

def say(Chuck_Norris)
  puts "Ruby"
end

Chuck_Norris

I posted it as a new topic also, was hoping maybe one of these students could chime in with what worked for them (hopefully they didn't give up).

Couldn't get this to work either.

def say("Ruby")
  puts ("Ruby")
end

("say")
