I've been learning Ruby fundamentals for about a week or so. While I was nervous about taking on a new programming language, I found this one to be easier and more readable than Javascript.
In other words, I'm enjoying learning this language!
Today my learning was all about strings in Ruby, it was quite an enlightening day for several reasons. One, the methods used are similar to Javascript, so I don't feel like I'm learning something entirely new. And two, seeing the differences between the two languages.
So here's some things I learned:
Strings are objects. This means they come with a plethora of built-in methods and functionalities that can be very useful. From simple manipulations to complex transformations, Ruby offers a lot of tools to work with.
String interpolation It's a feature that allows me to embed Ruby code within a string, making it convenient to insert variables and expressions directly into the text. This not only streamlines my code but also makes it more readable and expressive.
For example, using the '#{}' syntax seamlessly integrates variables into my strings. This adds flexibility to the code but also opens up possibilities for creating dynamic, data-driven applications.
3.String manipulation Whether it's through concatenation, slicing, or using various built-in methods like 'upcase', 'downcase', or 'reverse', there are many ways to manipulate a string. Each of these methods serves a unique purpose, allowing me to tailor my string manipulations to suit my specific needs.
As I continue to explore Ruby, I'm excited to see how I can leverage these new skills to build even more robust and dynamic applications in the future.
Until next time, happy coding!
