Ruby - Gems and Bundler

A>= 3.0, < 3.5, > 3.5.0, < 4.0

B>= 3.0, < 4.0, != 3.5.*

C~> 3.0, != 3.5.*

D>= 3.0, < 3.5, >= 3.6, < 4.0

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand the requirement to allow 3.x but exclude 3.5.x
We want versions from 3.0 up to 4.0 but exclude any 3.5.x versions.
Step 2: Use version constraints with exclusion
Using >= 3.0 and < 4.0 allows all 3.x versions. Adding != 3.5.* excludes all 3.5.x versions.
Final Answer:
>= 3.0, < 4.0, != 3.5.* -> Option B
Quick Check:
Use != to exclude specific versions in range = >= 3.0, < 4.0, != 3.5.* [OK]

Quick Trick: Use != with wildcard to exclude specific version series [OK]
