Create a method named "createshoppinglist" that returns a hash. It does not need to ask for a name or get anything from standard input. I've tried ```ruby def createshoppinglist = Hash.new createshoppinglist[] return hash end ``` as per the documentation at http://ruby-doc.org/core-2.2.2/Hash.html and ```ruby def createshoppinglist print "What is the item called?" item_name = gets.chomp hash = { "name" => name } return hash end ``` and ```ruby def createshoppinglist hash = { "name" => name } return hash end ``` Among some other things. This seems really simple and I would appreciate some help. -Stephen

I figured it out! Man, it must be early. ```ruby def createshoppinglist hash = Hash.new return hash end ```

Create a method named "create_shopping_list" that returns a hash. It does not need to ask for a name or get anything from standard input.

I've tried

def create_shopping_list = Hash.new
  create_shopping_list[] 
  return hash
end

as per the documentation at http://ruby-doc.org/core-2.2.2/Hash.html

and

def create_shopping_list
  print "What is the item called?"
  item_name = gets.chomp

  hash = { "name" => name }
  return hash
end

and

def create_shopping_list
  hash = { "name" => name }
  return hash
end

Among some other things. This seems really simple and I would appreciate some help.
