1. Create a method named hello that will print "Sam I am".

def hello
  puts "Sam I am"
end

1. Create a method named hello_someone that takes an argument of name and prints "#{name} I am".

def hello_someone(name)
  puts "#{name} I am"
end

1. How would you call or execute the method that you created above?

• You would type hello_someone(name) on the command line
• I believe you could call it with .hello_someone.

1. What questions do you have about methods in Ruby?

• Some methods are universal to ruby. Why do we need to think of methods as a way to change an attribute? Couldn't we just think of a method as a way to accomplish a task with our code?
