Ruby - Methods

Which of the following Ruby method definitions returns nil?

Adef multiply(x, y) x * y end

Bdef multiply(x, y) x * y return x * y end

Cdef multiply(x, y) x * y return end

Ddef multiply(x, y) x * y return x * y end

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Analyze each method for return value
def multiply(x, y) x * y end returns x * y implicitly. def multiply(x, y) x * y return end returns nil because return without value returns nil. def multiply(x, y) x * y return x * y end returns x * y explicitly. def multiply(x, y) x * y return x * y end returns x * y explicitly.
Step 2: Identify the one that returns nil
def multiply(x, y) x * y return end returns nil due to the empty return.
Final Answer:
The method with empty return -> Option C
