6,334 PointsWhat's wrong with the program?
Using the each method, iterate over the contact_list array. Assign each array item to the local variable contact in the block and print out the value of the name and phone_number keys.
contact_list = [{"name" => "Jason", "phone_number" => "123"}, {"name" => "Nick", "phone_number" => "456"} ]
contact_list.each do |item| contact = item contact.each_value do |value| puts value end end
contact_list = [
{"name" => "Jason", "phone_number" => "123"},
{"name" => "Nick", "phone_number" => "456"}
]
contact_list.each do |item|
contact = item
contact.each_value do |value|
puts value
end
end

4,224 PointsThe loop is incorrect.
contact_list.each do |item| # This is going to do a full iteration
contact = item
contact.each_value do |value| # Here you are doing another within the first iteration.
puts value # you are only printing the value and not the key
end
end
What they are looking for is actually this:
contact_list = [
{"name" => "Jason", "phone_number" => "123"},
{"name" => "Nick", "phone_number" => "456"}
]
contact_list.each do |item|
# Every iteration will take what item has and print key and value
puts item["name"]
puts item["phone_number"]
end

Did you run my code? Even my code is giving the same output as yours.
