end
def myclass_function
puts "this is my first class"
end
end
class1=Song.new("Navya","Teja",540)

Object#inspect returns a string, it does not print out the result.

inspect() returns a String which is often used to contain useful
debugging information. inspect() does not print that String.

You need to ask Ruby to print the String to the screen. Try changing
the last line to:

puts class1.inspect

Hope that helps.

or even

p class1
