# Using method_missing

@car_model.stereo_info  # => "CD/MP3 Player"
@car_model.stereo_price # => "£79.99"


# =~ is used to compare a string to a regex pattern

# We invoke super for methods that don't end in _info or _price. Invoking super
# call method_missing of the parent class which eventually raises NoMethodError
