What are you guys asking me to do? Assign to nil value as a return of a method which I write called 'get_name'? 

contact_list = []


def get_name
  contact = {"name" => "11", "phone_number" => "" }
  back = contact["name"]
  p back
  return back
end
get_name

I'm not sure. I tried it several different ways.

Please rephrase your question - it's not clear what you're asking

It's all good Andrew. I just played around with it for a little and got it figured out. I wasn't sure how they wanted me to do it from THEIR question. Haha
