So I took some php code and turned it into a calendar with a helper to make a simple calendar.

I got my data from inside the helper:

 def calendar_maker
 a = Time.now
 b = a.month
 d = a.year
 h = Time.gm(d,b,1) #first day of month

Now I want to try and do it with parameters within my method

 #from the helper file
 def calendar_maker(year, month)
 a = Time.now
 b = month
 c = year
 h = Time.gm(d,b,1) #first day of month

#from my html.erb file
<%= @month %> and <%= @year %>
<%= params["month"] %><br />
<%= params["action"] %><br />
<%= params["year"] %><br />
<%= calendar_maker( @year, @month) %>

#from controller file
def calendar
  @month = params[:month]
  @year = params[:year]
end

Anyways mistakes were made and not finding documentation anywhere or not looking in the right place. How do I get this to work with my params hash. Thanks for the help.
