None of the above

Correct Answer
B. Strongly typed/Dynamically typed

Explanation

In Ruby, variables can hold values of any type and can be reassigned to different types, allowing for flexibility in programming.

Local variable
B.

Global variable
C.

In Ruby, variables that start with a capital letter are considered constants. Constants are variables whose value cannot be changed once assigned.

Therefore, the correct answer is "None of the above" as the given options (local variable, global variable, instance variable, and class variable) do not include constants.

Local variable
B.

Global variable
C.

Instance variable

This means that any changes made to a global variable in one part of the program will affect its value in other parts of the program as well.

What is the output of the code? print "What's your first name?" first_name=gets.chomp a=first_name.capitalize first_name.capitalize! print "What's your last name?" last_name=gets.chomp b=last_name.capitalize last_name.capitalize puts "My name is #{first_name} #{last_name}"

A.

Amil Jones
B.

What’s your first name? amil What’s your last name? jones My name is Amil Jones
C.

What's your first name? (input) What's your last name? (input) My name is [Capitalized First Name] [Input Last Name]
D.

None of the mentioned

Correct Answer
C. What's your first name? (input) What's your last name? (input) My name is [Capitalized First Name] [Input Last Name]

Explanation
The code prompts the user to enter their first name and stores it in the variable first_name.
It capitalizes the first letter of the first name using .capitalize method and stores it in variable a.
It then capitalizes the first letter of the first name in place using capitalize!.
Next, the code prompts the user to enter their last name and stores it in the variable last_name.
It capitalizes the first letter of the last name using .capitalize method and stores it in variable b.
However, the capitalize method on last_name is not applied in place, so the last name remains unchanged.
Finally, it prints out the message with #{first_name} and #{last_name}, where first_name and last_name are both capitalized due to previous modifications.
