What does the Ruby gem version constraint >= 2.0, < 3.0 specify?
AIt allows any version less than 2.0 or greater than 3.0
BIt allows only version 2.0 and 3.0
CIt allows only version 3.0
DIt allows any version starting from 2.0 up to but not including 3.0
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand the meaning of >= and < in version constraints
The symbol >= means "greater than or equal to" and < means "less than".
Step 2: Apply the constraints to version numbers
The constraint >= 2.0 means versions 2.0 and above, and < 3.0 means versions below 3.0. Together, they allow versions from 2.0 up to but not including 3.0.
Final Answer:
It allows any version starting from 2.0 up to but not including 3.0 -> Option D
Quick Check:
Version range >= 2.0, < 3.0 = It allows any version starting from 2.0 up to but not including 3.0 [OK]
Quick Trick:Use >= and < to specify a version range excluding the upper bound [OK]
Common Mistakes:
Confusing >= with >
Thinking < 3.0 includes 3.0
Assuming only exact versions allowed
