Answer 1

Use hash for ruby 1.8/1.9 as follow:

def myMethod(options={})
  @email = options[:email]
  @phone = options[:phone]
end

# sample usage
myMethod({:email => "example@email.ir", :phone => "0098-511-12345678"})

Also on ruby 2.0/2.1 you can use keyword arguments as follow:

def myMethod(email: 'default@email.ir', phone: '0098-000-00000000')
  @email = email
  @phone = phone
end

# sample usage
myMethod(email: "example@email.ir", phone: "0098-511-12345678")
