Ruby Ruby Booleans Build a Simple Todo List Program Instantiation and Methods

I don't understand this question: In the add_item method of the TodoList class, create a new TodoItem from the argument

In the add_item method of the TodoList class, create a new TodoItem from the argument passed in and append it to the todo_items array. Assume that the TodoItem class is already defined and takes one argument upon initialization.

todo_list.rb 
class TodoList
  attr_reader :name, :todo_items

  def initialize(name)
    @name = name
    @todo_items = []
  end

  def add_item(name)
    name = TodoItem.new
    todo_items << name
  end

end

I don't get the wording. What is it asking me to do?

Hi Yan,

Not that append << , it should be something like to use another append (push) into the todo_items array, I think the challenge question expect you to use "push". Here's hint : 1:40

  def add_item(name)
    todo_items.push(TodoItem.new(name))
  end

Hope that helps.
