Problem:
The following line of code for calculating the total order cost returns “#”.
@purchase_items.reduce() {|cost, item| cost += item.qty_ordered * item.unit_price }
Cause:
The default memo item for a reduce operation in Ruby is the first item on the list (because of this, it starts the reduce on the second item).
Solution:
You can set the initial memo item by passing it to the reduce function.
@purchase_items.reduce(0) {|cost, item| cost += item.qty_ordered * item.unit_price }
