Ruby Types

• Ruby, like Python, is a dynamically typed language.

  • The type of a variable depends upon what was last assigned to it.
  • A variable can hold many different types during the lifetime of a script.

• Ruby supports many types:

  • Array, Hash, String, Float, Integer, Regexp, Thread, Exception, IO, Time and more.

• As with several other object-oriented languages, the Object class is the root of all types.
