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)

## Writing classes

We’re now finally ready for our own classes. Because nearly everything’s an object in Ruby, we’ve worked with objects quite a bit.

We’ve created numbers and strings, and we’ve seen objects like `true`, `false`, and `nil`. We’ve also looked at their class names by calling, `"a string".class`, and we’ve explored some other methods that these objects have. We’ve also learned how we can define our own methods and how we can call them, passing arguments as required.
