Question

Assign number_segments with phone_number split by the hyphens.

Sample output with input: '977-555-3221'

Area code: 977

Answer 1

The directions are confusing given the sample output, but if I assume your input is a phone number in the form of a string and you want the area code printed as in your example. Here is a solution in ruby:

def print_area_code(phone_number_string)

number_segments = phone_number_string.split('-')

puts "Area code: #{number_segments.first}"

end

test_input = '123-456-7890'

print_area_code(test_input)

# => Area code: 123
