Cards.shuffle returning nil

Questions / Help
1 
deck = ["Ace", "Two", "Three"]
Cards.shuffle(deck)

where in Cards module I have

 def shuffle(deck) do
      Enum.shuffle(deck)
  end

but returns nil.

Why?

Works for me. What have you tried to debug it?
Have you tried an IO.inspect(deck) in your Cards.shuffle function to make sure deck is getting passed intact? Have you tried Enum.shuffle([“Ace”, “Two”, “Three”])?

For me, going through the Grider course, I had forgotten to recompile
