In Ruby, EVERYTHING that will be manipulated is an object
Types
- All types in Ruby originate from the
Object
class - Strings
- sequences of bytes that represent a sequence of characters
- String literals may be created using either single quotes or double quotes
- Single quotes are not interpolated and may only contain escapes for the single quote and backslash
- Single quoted string literals are slightly more performant
- Double quoted string literals offer far more escape sequences for interpolation
