Beginner's Guide to Datatypes

Datatypes in Ruby

so far, Ruby seems to handle datatypes in a very smooth way. what I mean by that is that unlike other languages like C++ where the datatype has to be declared prior to even thinking about initializing it, Ruby knows what datatype to assign a variable from the variable's content itself. like for example if we were to declare a variable x like this:

x = "Hello World!"

Ruby would automatically assign the variable x the datatype of String

• Now, Ruby has many datatypes of which we can mention the following:

What role does empathy play in your life and how has it helped you?

• Empathy is what inspires me to listen to the opposite person even if I am not feeling okay and having a not so nice day. Empathy is what pushes me to enhance my code even more better so that the person reading it would for the least have a wow expression even if it was for just a second. I think being empathetic has helped me gain a hold of people and people getting a hold of me, not to mention the network that I have come across knowing simply because of an empathetic conversation we had sometime in the past.

How does empathy help you build better software?

• I believe a code written with no empathy can result pretty much in a spaghetti type of code, simply for the fact that no of the person most likely to read the code had been taken into consideration

When you've worked towards a goal in the past, what systems or tools have been helpful for you in accomplishing that goal? How could you adapt those same systems/tools to use while at Turing?

• I would say reading hard copy books were more useful for me in terms of grasping concepts rather than reading a pdf book on my computer. also, I found that skimming over the day's lesson or session material can be super helpful wrapping my head around the lecture at the time of the lecture.
  at Turing, I plan on skimming over the curriculum and absorb as much ruby syntax as possible before my day 1 at Turing. so that I could be ready for all the common and normal stuff and be prone to any in-depth questions my mind would probably come upon.
  while at Turing, I want to really go over the limit of what my mind is currently used to. I want to truly graduate as someone different professsionally
