Object#inspect returns a string, it does not print out the result.
try:
puts class1.inspect

inspect() returns a String which is often used to contain useful debugging information. inspect() does not print that String.

You need to ask Ruby to print the String to the screen. Try changing the last line to:

puts class1.inspect

Hope that helps.

You need to ask Ruby to print the String to the screen. Try changing the last line to:

puts class1.inspect

or even

p class1
