6,904 PointsError when passing 4 parameters to the Name initialize method
Seeing the video I noticed the need for four parameters in the creation of the class, but when I send the parameters, I get an error:
name.rb:23: syntax error, unexpected ',', expecting ')'
name = Name.new ("Mr.", "James", "Earl", "Jones")
^
name.rb:23: syntax error, unexpected ',', expecting end-of-input
...ame = Name.new ("Mr.", "James", "Earl", "Jones")
Which confuses me, a lot - Does it have something to do with the quotations around the strings I'm sending, or am I using the wrong kind of comma? I can't figure it out on my own.
class Name
def initialize(title, first_name, middle_name, last_name)
@title = title
@first_name = first_name
@middle_name = middle_name
@last_name = last_name
end
def title
@title
end
def first_name
@first_name
end
def middle_name
@middle_name
end
def last_name
@last_name
end
end
name = Name.new ("Mr.", "James", "Earl", "Jones")
puts name.title + " " +
name.first_name + " " +
name.middle_name + " " +
name.last_name

6,904 PointsSolution Found: The space between Name.New and the parentheses containing the four parameters should not be there. The correct line is;
name = Name.new("Mr.", "James", "Earl", "Jones")And now the code passes without error.
