4,762 PointsCreating instances array
Hi, at which point we are creating @instances array? We made a method inside Inventoryable module to conditionally assign empty array to @instances variable, but we are not calling this method. It is enough to push something inside instances and the array is created at the same time?

10,061 PointsHi Mateusz,
The array is created here. Read it as "We create the instances array and it is given no value the first time it is accessed."
We populated the instances array via the create method within the ClassMethods module:
The create method is called via this code:
shirt1 = Shirt.create(name: "mtf", size: "L")
