Assign the value of the key name to the return value of the method get_name() in the contact hash. Assume that get_name() returns a string.
im confused on this question, do we have to define the method get_name() in the code?
contact_list = []
contact = {"name" => "", "phone_number" => "" }

contact_list = []
contact = {"name" => get_name(), "phone_number" => "" }

#the get_name method is already defined
#in this case the question is asking you to assign the value of the key phone_number to the answer retrieved by the method get_name. It think people make the question more complicated than it really is
contact['name'] = get_name()
