try changing it to
def initialize( *args )
the * means that it takes a variable number of parameters as an niput
to the method, I think youd use it like this
def my_method( *args )
if args.length ==2
puts "arg[0] is " + arg[0]
else
puts "you didnt supply 2 args"
end
end
my_method( 2,3) # produces arg[0] is 2
my_method( 4,5,6) # produces you didnt supply 2 args
