Hi All,

just getting back into learning Ruby and thought I'd play with classes and
hashes today. Below code produces the following ouput,


mark@marklaptop:~/study/ruby$ ruby songs.rb
Enter your name
Mark
Enter song type
Rock
Enter song title
I Was Made For Loving You
Enter song artist
Kiss

TitlenewSong.get_song_titleArtistnewSong.get_song_artistTypenewSong.get_song_type


CODE:

mark@marklaptop:~/study/ruby$ cat songs.rb
##define song class
class Songs
        def set_song_type(type)
                @song_type = type
        end

        def set_song_title(title)
                @song_title = title
        end

        def set_song_artist(artist)
                @song_artist = artist
        end

        def get_song_title
                return @song_title
        end

        def get_song_type
                return @song_type
        end

        def get_song_artist
                return @song_artist
        end
end

##create user name for array name
puts "Enter your name"
aName = gets()

##create new song from class, Songs
newSong = Songs.new

puts "Enter song type"
newSong.set_song_type(gets())

puts "Enter song title"
newSong.set_song_title(gets())

puts "Enter song artist"
newSong.set_song_artist(gets())

#create new song array
aName = Hash.new
aName['Title'] = 'newSong.get_song_title'
aName['Type'] = 'newSong.get_song_type'
aName['Artist'] = 'newSong.get_song_artist'

##display array contant
puts
puts(aName)

I'm figuring it has something to do with how I assigned the values to the
keys, but, cannot for the life of me see what. Any suggestions for me for
where to look? Cheers.
