how to comment out embedded ruby

To comment out embedded Ruby code in a Ruby file, you can use the pound sign (#). Here is the step-by-step explanation:

  1. Locate the line of code that you want to comment out. This could be a line of Ruby code within an HTML or other file format.

  2. Place a pound sign (#) at the beginning of the line. This will comment out the entire line of code, and it will be ignored by the Ruby interpreter.

  3. If you want to comment out multiple lines of code, you can place the pound sign (#) at the beginning of each line.

  4. Alternatively, if you want to comment out a block of code, you can enclose it between the =begin and =end delimiters. For example:

=begin
  puts "This code will be commented out."
  puts "This code will also be commented out."
=end
  1. Save the file after you have commented out the desired lines of code.

By using either the pound sign (#) or the =begin and =end delimiters, you can effectively comment out embedded Ruby code in a Ruby file.
