I created a class called Customer and created a sub class called
Transaction. The problem iam facing is i can't extract the super class
methods and variables from sub class (i.e from Transaction class).
the error it shows is

ruby Transaction.rb
Transaction.rb:1: uninitialized constant Customer (NameError)

Exit code: 1

Since you get the error in line 1 of the Transaction.rb file, I guess it starts with

   class Transaction < Customer

and I guess you define the class Customer in a file Customer.rb. If I'm correct, you first have to require the file with the Customer class, so your file Transaction.rb has to start with

   require "Customer"
   class Transaction < Customer

Some further remarks:

* You don't need to name the file after the class. And you don't have to define each class in its own file. For example, you could define both of your classes in a file called "app.rb".

* I think Filenames with mixed uppercase and lowercase letters aren't often used in Ruby land.

* How can a transaction be a subclass of a customer?
