5. Making a Withdrawal

#1

I'm getting the error - 'Oops, try again. Did you add a public withdraw method to your Account class?', but I'm struggling to see where I've gone wrong?

class Account
attr :name
attr :balance
def initialize (name, balance=100)
@name = name
@balance = balance
end

private

def pin
    @pin = 1234
end

def pin_error
return "Access denied: incorrect PIN."
end

public 

def display_balance (pin_number)
    if pin_number == @pin
        puts "Balance: $#{@balance}."
    else
        puts = pin_error
    end
    
def withdraw (pin_number, amount)
    if pin_number == @pin
        @balance -= amount
        puts "Withdraw #{amount}. New balance: $#{@balance}."
    else
        puts = pin_error
    end
end

end
end

EXACT SAME ISSUE. MIT KEEPS ASKING IF I CREATED A PUBLIC METHOD FOR MY ACCOUNT CLASS BUT YOU DON'T EVEN NEED TO WRITE PUBLIC FOR IT TO WORK. NOT SURE. (SORRY FOR CAPS, HELPS TO SEE CODE VS WRITING.

class Account
attr_reader :name, :balance
def initialize(name, balance=100)
@name = name
@balance = balance
end

def display_balance(pin_number)
@pin_number = pin if puts "Balance: $#{@balance}."
unless @pin_number != pin then puts "#{pin_error}"
end

def withdraw(pin_number, amount)
if pin_number = pin
@balance -= amount
puts "Withdrew #{amount}. New balance: $#{@balance}."
else
puts "#{pin_error}"
end
end

private

def pin(pin)
@pin == pin
pin = 1234
end

def pin_error
puts "Access denied: incorrect PIN."
end
end
end

I had the exact same problem, I only forgot to add "puts" after the else statement.
Only two things I can find different between yours and mine.

1st: "if pin_number == pin" part. It should be comparing itself to @pin.
2nd thing is the else part in the same method, where you are calling an argument. And you should be able to call the method you made earlier by just stating its name.

And the post from a month ago, that user should also look at his else statement.

Was the answer found to this ? The difference I can see is "Withdraw" instead of "Withdrew" ... would that help? :slight_smile:
