Agile Web Dev (book) question: errors

I had this same problem and I find this really weird because I was using the actual code supplied by the book and was getting the error. When I added an extra "end" to the bottom of the file it worked. Can someone tell me why this code works:

class Cart   attr_reader :items

  def initialize       @items =   end

  def add_product(product)     current_item = @items.find {|item| item.product == product}     if current_item       current_item.increment_quantity     else       @items << CartItem.new(product)   end end end

It seems to me that there is one too many "end"s here.

Is that right? I am also a newb.

Thanksz!

class Cart attr_reader :items

def initialize @items = end

def add_product(product) current_item = @items.find {|item| item.product == product} if current_item current_item.increment_quantity else @items << CartItem.new(product) end end end

It seems to me that there is one too many "end"s here.

Looks okay to me. The first "end" closes the "if-else" block The second "end" closes the "def" method The third "end" closes the "class" declaration

HI, I have almost the same issue when I follow the 3rd Edtion. but I verified the every type characters, there should be no mistakes. Any one could help?

Are you absolutely certain that is the right cart.rb? Is that the complete file? It looks ok to me.

I copied and pasted and ran this code and it worked fine for me. Any stray "," characters?

There is something odd going on. I suggest you comment out the contents of the file and add bits back in till it fails. Maybe you have an unprintable character that is causing the problem.
