[Solved] Why does this Ruby code not output the expected values?info = { 'name': 'Lara', :age => 30 } puts info[:name] puts info['age'] | Ruby

Ruby - Hashes

Why does this Ruby code not output the expected values?

info = { 'name': 'Lara', :age => 30 }
puts info[:name]
puts info['age']

ABecause :age is not a valid symbol key

BBecause 'name': creates a symbol key, not a string key

CBecause keys must be all strings or all symbols

DBecause puts cannot print hash values directly

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand key syntax
The syntax 'name': creates a symbol key :name, not a string key 'name'.
Step 2: Access keys
info[:name] accesses the symbol key :name correctly, but info['age'] looks for a string key 'age' which does not exist.
Final Answer:
Because 'name': creates a symbol key, not a string key -> Option B
Quick Check:
Symbol keys created with colon after string literal [OK]

Quick Trick: Colon after quotes creates symbol keys [OK]
