How to call a method from an another method with ruby? - ruby

Question

I have this little password generating program, I want the method print_password to call the generate_password method, but it just doesn't work
require 'digest'
class Challenge
KEY = [
'4', '5', '6', '7',
'8', '9', 'A', 'B',
'C', 'D', 'E', 'F',
'0', '1', '2', '3'
]
def initialize(email)
#email = email # && raise
puts 'This object was initialized!'
end
def print_password
puts %(Password 1: {generate_password}) # Here I want to call generate_password method
end
private
def generate_password
#hash = Digest::SHA1.hexdigest(#email)
#id = #hash.scan(/\d+/).map(&:to_i).inject(:+)
#prng = Random.new(#id)
prepare_map
apply_map
end
def prepare_map
#map = []
id_string = #id.to_s
id_size = id_string.size
map_string = id_string * (KEY.size.to_f / id_size).ceil
0.upto(15) do |i|
#map[i] = map_string[i].to_i
end
#map
end
end
def apply_map
calculated_key = KEY.shuffle(random: #prng).map.with_index do |char, i|
(char.bytes[0] + #map[i]).chr
end
calculated_key.join
end
me = Challenge.new('me#gmail.com') # Initialize new object
me.print_password # Here I want to print the password
So here at the end, it initializes a new object and then where I use me.print_password it just prints out Password 1: {generate_password}
Don't know exactly what I am doing wrong here, thanks for your help in advance.

You need to use a hash character before your curly brackets (same notation as for double quotes):
puts %(Password: #{generate_password})
puts "Password: #{generate_password}"
