This is what I get in my terminal when I type 2.1.1 :009 > BankAccount.create_for("nick", "Lee")
ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (2 for 0)
from /Users/nicholaslee/Desktop/newbank.rb:5:in initialize'
from /Users/nicholaslee/Desktop/newbank.rb:5:innew'
from /Users/nicholaslee/Desktop/newbank.rb:5:in create_for'

Here is my code. What's going wrong?
class BankAccount
def self.create_for(first_name, last_name)
@account ||= []
@account << BankAccount.new(first_name, last_name)
def initialize(first_name, last_name)
@balance = 0
@first_name = first_name
@last_name = last_name
end
def deposit(amount)
@balance += amount
end
def withdraw(amount)
@balance -= amount
end

It looks like you've almost got it. I think you've just mis-placed an end.
Try something like this:
class BankAccount
def self.create_for(first_name, last_name)
@account ||= []
@account << BankAccount.new(first_name, last_name)
end
def initialize(first_name, last_name)
@balance = 0
@first_name = first_name
@last_name = last_name
end
def deposit(amount)
@balance += amount
end
def withdraw(amount)
@balance -= amount
end
end
