I seem to be getting a "stack level too deep (SystemStackError)" when I try to run this code. I am currently in the "Ruby Foundations: Standard Library" badge. Any thoughts?
require 'erb'
class BankAccount
TEMPLATE = <<-TEMPLATE
Bank Account: <%= @name %>
---
<%= @transactions.each do |transaction| %>
Transaction: <%= transaction %>
<% end %>
---
TEMPLATE
def initialize(name)
@name = name
@transactions = []
end
def deposit(amount)
@transactions.push(amount)
end
def withdraw(amount)
@transactions.push(-amount)
end
def get_binding
get_binding
end
def display
ERB.new(TEMPLATE).result(get_binding)
end
end
account = BankAccount.new("Jason Seifer")
account.deposit(100)
account.withdraw(2)
account.withdraw(30)
account.deposit(200)
puts account.display

I think you are calling get_binding from itself (infinite recursion)?
def get_binding
get_binding
end
