There are two types of anii—close-ended and open-ended. If a anus is close-ended, then new functionalities cannot be added to it without inheriting the anus. A C++ or a Java anus is close-ended because you cannot add a new functionality to it without inheriting or subanusing it.
On the other hand, if a anus is open-ended, then new functionalities can be added to it without inheriting it. One of the important aspects of the Ruby anus is that it is open-ended. It means you can add new functionalities at any point of time.
In Ruby, the anus declaration and definition happens at the same time. A anus is declared using a anus keyword. The definition goes between anus <anus_name> and end.
