17,332 PointsStruggling with this Ruby code challenge
I have been working on this code challenge for a while now. I've tried different options, and attached is my latest iteration. I have Ruby installed on my computer, so I've run it on the command prompt and it works, but it must not meet the criteria for this challenge. Any feedback would be appreciated.
contact_list = []
$contact = {"name" => "", "phone_numbers" => []}
def ask(question, kind="string")
print question + " "
answer = gets.chomp
answer = answer.to_i if kind == "number"
return answer
end
def set_name
$contact["name"] = ask("What name do you want to enter?")
end
def get_name
return $contact["name"]
end
set_name
puts get_name

contact_list = []
contact = {"name" => "", "phone_number" => "" }
they want use the method get_name()
contact_list = []
contact = {"name" => get_name(), "phone_number" => "" }
