Hi Evan What I mean by standing ruby scoping are the rules surrounding how and when a variable is accessible.
When a block is defined that takes variables, those variable names are considered to be local to the block (the same as a normal local variable) so are only available within that "scope” e.g. thing do |local_variable| # local variable is fine here method_name do # local variable is fine here too, but not in the method definition end end # but local_variable does not exist here def method_name # nor does local_variable exist here end Hope that helps!
