When go run methods show syntax error!

This is my code:

def add(a, b) puts "Adding #{a} and #{b}:" puts a + b end

add(2, 3) add (5, 5) add (6, 6)

This is the error when run in console:

treehouse:~/workspace$ ruby methods.rb methods.rb:7: syntax error, unexpected ',', expecting ')' add (5, 5) ^

This is just a formatting issue. It should look like this:

def add(a, b) 
  puts "Adding #{a} and #{b}:" 
  puts a + b 
end

add(2, 3) 
add(5, 5) 
add(6, 6)
