This is my first ruby app. And I am a stack overflow virgin... When I run the following program:

class NameApp



def intialize(name)

    @names = 

end



def name_question

    print "What is your name? "

    answer = gets.chomp

    @names += answer.to_s

    puts "The number of characters in your name is " + names.length

end





def name_length

    if @names.length > 25 then 

        print "Your name is longer than 25 characters."

    else 

        print "Your name is too short."

    end

end



end



name_app = NameApp.new("Test1")

name_app.class # => NameApp



name_app.name_question

name_app.name_length

I get this simple error message result:

name.rb:26:in `initialize': wrong number of arguments(1 for 0) (ArgumentError)

from nameapp.rb:26:in `new'

from nameapp.rb:26:in `<main>'

Can you help me trouble shoot?

Since you have not defined the method initialize for NameApp, by default, it takes zero arguments, but you passed one argument "Test1" via the constructor new.

You spelled "initialize" wrong. I did that a few times too when I was starting out, and that was hard to debug. Why ruby didn't name it "init", I'll never know.

For require_relative 'user' move old 'user.rb' up one level rename 'user2.rb' to 'user.rb'. Also, there is a typo.
