Hey darius goore did you already create a bank_account object in IRB? Is it possible you misspelled something?

it's likely that is what happened. I'll have to go back and check it later thanks. In the meantime, I have another question re: blocks and the yield example. the iterator used is "i". but the argument for the block is "number" I am not sure how these relate, i.e. how does the block know that number should take the value of the iterator i?
