Greeting not working. I don't understand what's happening.

gistfile1.txt

class Person
attr_accessor :name, :age

	def initialize
 		@name = name
 	end

 	def get_name
 		puts "What is your name?"
 		name = gets.chomp
 		return name
 	end

 	def greeting
 		puts "Hello #{name}"
 	end
end

darin = Person.new
darin.get_name
darin.greeting

@darinthompson I'm new to Ruby but I'll take a stab: It looks like the problem is arising from how to define and call the name variable. Your variable name should be an instance variable called with an @ symbol like so @name which limits it's scope to an instance of the class Person. Your get_name method should store the name like so: @name = gets.chomp, same applies when calling that variable later in the greeting method: puts "Hello #{@name}". Give it a try and let me know if that helps. You may also want to check out this stackoverflow thread:

Hey, yeah, that was kind of what it was. I learned that since putting this up. Thanks for the input!
