Do I need to indent my code in Ruby?

Question

You would think that this would be an easy question, but I can\'t find the answer anywhere. >_<

Will Ruby throw syntax errors if my code is indented incorrectly?

Answer 1

Ruby is not whitespace sensitive. Your code, although not pretty, will work.

However: http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/56039

irb(main):001:0> a = ( 4 + 5 )
=> 9
irb(main):002:0> a = ( 4
irb(main):003:1>       + 5 )
=> 5
irb(main):004:0> a = ( 4 +
irb(main):005:1*       5 )
=> 9
