Help with Ruby Conditionals

I feel like most of this is correct but I'm not sure what it means when it talks about assigning "def get_answer" things. Any explanation of where I've gone wrong would be much appreciated.

loop.rb 
# Assume get_answer() is already defined
loop do
  answer = gets.chomp
  if answer == "e"
    break
  end
end

No worries. It was my second line that was wrong. It should say:

answer = get_answer()

I didn't realise that get_answer was already a variable and that I should assign answer to it.
