Comments in Ruby!!!

Just finished the next few Ruby programs. What did I learn? Well, the first thing is COMMENTS!!!

Single line comments start with #. Put a # anywhere on the line and rest of the line becomes a comment.

Multiline comments start with =begin and end with =end.

It must be noted that /*, */ and // do not work.

Just tried the oracle way and no, -- does not work either.

Semi-colons, whether at the beginning or at the end of the, statement are ignored as well.

I hate to say this but Ruby is a completely new language. So woe is me. No shortcuts. I will have to learn everything from scratch.

And I thought that they were joking when they said life begins at 30 (in my case, 34).

No, I don't feel like Alice in wonderland or Dorothy following the yellow brick road.

I still have more questions.

Yes, I do want to know as to why people start new languages rather than adding to existing ones. But we won't go there yet.

Now that we can output stuff, my next question is how do we read stuff from console into variables?

And how do we format the output?

And how are dates stored?

Again, I am sure, all will be revealed in good time.

Kate wants to know who this Ruby is that I am spending half an hour with everyday.
