So, we just learned how class names have a capitalized first letter. The example of a real-world class did not. I was wondering why that is? How do you know it is a class and not just another method (since there is also no def initialize or @@class variables)?:

def create_record(attributes, raise_error = false)
  record = build_record(attributes)
  yield(record) if block_given?
  saved = record.save
  set_new_record(record)
  raise RecordInvalid.new(record) if !saved && raise_error
  record
end

Thanks in advance for any insight :slight_smile:

If you’re referring to create_record, that’s the method name
which is using snake case and that’s normal
