class Box
  attr_reader   :exceptions

  def initialize

      exceptions = Hash.new

  end

      def exceptions?
        if(!exceptions.empty?)
          puts "error"
        else
          puts "No exceptions found."
        end
      end

end


box = Box.new

box.exceptions?

This prints out the error: TEST.rb:11:in `exceptions?': undefined method
`empty?' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
  from TEST.rb:23

Why is my exceptions hash a NilClass??

Thanks!!
