Ruby - Variables and Data Types

What will be the output of the following Ruby code?

name = "Alice"
puts 'Hello, #{name}!'
puts "Hello, #{name}!"

AHello, #{name}! Hello, Alice!

BHello, Alice! Hello, Alice!

CHello, #{name}! Hello, #{name}!

DHello, Alice! Hello, #{name}!

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand string interpolation in Ruby
Interpolation #{variable} works only inside double-quoted strings, not single-quoted.
Step 2: Analyze each puts statement output
First puts uses single quotes, so prints literally 'Hello, #{name}!'. Second uses double quotes, so inserts variable value 'Alice'.
Final Answer:
Hello, #{name}! Hello, Alice! -> Option A
Quick Check:
Interpolation only in double quotes [OK]

Quick Trick: Only double quotes allow #{variable} interpolation [OK]
