Programming in Ruby
The benefits of using Ruby for web development:
- High level language so its easy to understand
- Interpreted
- Object oriented
- Easy to use
Starting with “how to code using Ruby”; for now we discuss only the 3 mainly used data types:
- Numbers
- Booleans
- Strings
Note: Do not use quotation marks ” ” for the boolean values otherwise Ruby will think it to be a string value.
Lets do a small exercise here that shows how to declare variables and assign them values.
my_number = 25
my_boolean = true
my_string= “Ruby”
Declaring variables in Ruby is quite simple. Just write the name and assign it a value using the = operator
For eg: Lets set a variable my_num to the value 150
To do so we simply do as follows:
my_num=150
