What am I doing wrong? I'm displaying the kind variable, then a colon, a space, then the number variable. I don't really know what I'm supposed to do if that's wrong.
This is the assignement: "Create a to_s method on the PhoneNumber class that displays the kind variable, followed by a colon (:), followed by a space, and then the number variable."
class PhoneNumber
attr_reader :kind, :number
def initialize(kind, number)
@kind = kind
@number = number
end
def to_s
puts "#{kind}: #{number}"
end
end

23,733 PointsThe instructions are misleading since they say "display". Have the method return the string:
class PhoneNumber
attr_reader :kind, :number
def initialize(kind, number)
@kind = kind
@number = number
end
def to_s
"#{@kind}: #{@number}"
end
end
