Gem & Classes

[Zayd Connor]

I'm confused with the difference between gems and classes. Are they
considered the same thing? I familiar with what a class is, but where do
gems fall into place. Do you use them sort of like an include in C\C++?.
Can someone give me a simple example.

What about Modules? How are they used in Ruby?

Thanks
Zayd

Gems are packages of code. Classes are part of how you write code.
