Is there such a thing as the C#'s `#region` keyword in Ruby

Question

In C# I can use the #region keyword to separate blocks of code. Does something like it exist in Ruby?

Answer 1

Short answer: no.

Long answer: There is no code folding or comment style convention enforced by the ruby language. You can use your own convention for grouping methods however and setup your text editor to fold code in a way that works well for you (http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Folding).

Answer 2

Many wont like this answer, but its simple, and it works

if region1=true

    #your code/comments here

end #region1

this is of course, if region1 is not a variable you need at that scope
