I'm completely lost on this assignment. Can someone help explain whats going on please.

class TodoList attr_reader :name, :todo_items

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

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

def contains?(name) if @todo_items == name return name end end

def find_index(name) index = 0 found = false todo_items.each do |item| found = true if item.name == name break if found index += 1 end end if found return index else return nil end end end

todo_list.rb 
class TodoList
  attr_reader :name, :todo_items

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

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

  def contains?(name)
    if @todo_items == name
      return name
    end
  end

  def find_index(name)
    index = 0
    found = false
   todo_items.each do |item|
      found = true 
    if item.name == name
      break if found
      index += 1
    end
   end
    if found
      return index
    else
      return nil
    end
  end
end
