Hi! got answer right but website doesn't let me continue. Anybody having the same issue?

This contact.rb file is part of a larger program. Elsewhere in the program, we've defined a get_name method that takes no arguments, and returns a string.

The code currently in contact.rb creates a contact hash with a "name" key that has an empty string as its value. Update the code to call the get_name method, and assign the return value of get_name to the "name" key in the contact hash.

contact.rb
contact_list = []

contact = {"name" => "", "phone_number" => "" }

contact["name"] = get_name

Hi Alejandra, are you still having this same issue? I tried to replicate with your code and it appears to work for me.
