Identifiers
Identifiers are names of variables,
constants, and methods. Ruby distinguishes between identifiers
consisting of uppercase characters and those of lowercase characters.
Identifier names may consist of alphanumeric characters and the
underscore character ( _ ). You can distinguish a
variable’s type by the initial character of its identifier.
