Where to place private methods in Ruby?

Question

Most of the blogs or tutorials or books have private methods at the bottom of any class/module. Is this the best practice?

I find having private methods as and when nece

Answer 1

You don't need to put public or private above each method. I usually put all of my private methods at the bottom of my class. Also, don't have to explicitly say public as methods are public by default. For example:

class FooBar

  def some_public_method
  end

  def another_public_method
  end

private

  def some_private_method
  end

  def another_private method
  end

end
