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.
