= Code Comments Ruby has two types of comments: inline and block. Inline comments start with the # character and continue until the end of the line: # On a separate line class Foo # or at the end of the line # can be indented def bar end end Block comments start with =begin and end with =end. Each should start on a separate line. =begin This is commented out =end class Foo end =begin some_tag this works, too =end =begin and =end can not be indented, so this is a syntax error: class Foo =begin Will not work =end end
