Multiline code on IRB?

[Rubist Rohit]

I am trying to write a multi-line small code in IRB, but it has no
option to come to the next line.

 

[Robert Klemme]

When you write a line that isn't finished (e.g. end a line with a
semicolon) ;
or write a "do" with no "end" do
=A0it won't evaluate it until you finish it
end

In all other cases you can escape the line ending the same way as in a scri=
pt:

irb(main):001:0> 5 \
irb(main):002:0* + 3
=3D> 8
irb(main):003:0>

Kind regards

robert
