Courses Plus Student 6,302 PointsNeed help importing a string into a hash
Alright, so I know I need to assign the returned string from the method get_name() to the key, "name." But I can't seem to figure it out. If anything, the thing that I am having the most trouble with while learning is understanding how to apply the syntax. If anyone could take a look at my code and see where I went wrong, I would be thankful.
contact_list = []
contact = {"name" => "", "phone_number" => "" }
contact["name"].push(get_name())

The challenge is asking for you to provide the name key with the value that the get_name() method returns. Next up, it's the same idea but you'll be doing it for the phone_number key and the value returned from the get_phone_number method. Finally, you'll put the contact hash into the contact_list array through use of the push method (thus, contact gets appended to contact_list.)
contact_list = []
contact = {"name" => get_name(), "phone_number" => get_phone_number()}
contact_list.push(contact)
Hope this helps!

Courses Plus Student 6,302 PointsAhhh, thank you! That makes a lot more sense. I suppose I was just confused the challenge's wording.
