Interactive Ruby Shell (IRB or irb) is a REPL for programming in the object-oriented scripting language Ruby. The abbreviation irb is a portmanteau of the word "interactive" and the filename extension for Ruby files, ".rb".
The program is launched from a command line and allows the execution of Ruby commands with immediate response, experimenting in real-time. It features command history, line editing capabilities, and job control, and is able to communicate directly as a shell script over the Internet and interact with a live server. It was developed by Keiju Ishitsuka.
Syntax and use
Syntax:
irb [ options ] [ programfile ] [ argument... ]
Example:
irb(main):001:0> n = 5
=> 5
irb(main):002:0> def fact(n)
irb(main):003:1> if n <= 1
irb(main):004:2> 1
irb(main):005:2> else
irb(main):006:2> n * fact(n - 1)
irb(main):007:2> end
irb(main):008:1> end
=> :fact
irb(main):009:0> fact(n)
=> 120
irb(main):001:0> class Cat
irb(main):002:1> def meow
irb(main):003:2> puts 'Meow!'
irb(main):004:2> end
irb(main):005:1> end
=> :meow
irb(main):006:0> Cat.new.meow
Meow!
