Explore OOP in Ruby to gain a deeper understanding of Ruby objects, Ruby methods, and Ruby classes, enabling you to solve multiple problem sets with an object-oriented approach.

Module Overview
Ruby is a smart, functional, and object-oriented programming language that blends the best features of scripting power with user-friendly syntax. In this module, we’ll dive into OOP in Ruby with hands-on practice using interactive exercises and illustrations. We'll start by creating and managing Ruby objects. Next, we’ll explore Ruby methods and blocks, essential tools in Ruby programming. Finally, we'll delve into Ruby classes and how they are used to implement OOP principles.

Ruby OOP (Object-Oriented Programming)

Let’s start over and define a new class.

Remember that objects can be thought of as two things. They know stuff, and they can do things.

Let’s define a `Person` class. People obviously also know things and can do things.

Here’s how to define a new empty `Person` class:

```ruby
class Person
end
```

Again, that’s not a very useful class, but we can instantiate it and create an actual, concrete person instance (object) from it:
