Ruby - Testing with RSpec and Minitest

Identify the error in the following code snippet:

let(:value) { 5 }
before do
  value = 10
end
it 'checks value' do
  expect(value).to eq(5)
end

AThe assignment inside before creates a local variable, not changing let value

Blet cannot be used with before hooks

Cvalue is undefined inside before block

DThe test will fail because value is 10

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand variable assignment in before
Assigning value = 10 inside before creates a local variable, not changing the let method.
Step 2: Check test expectation
The value method from let still returns 5, so test expects 5 and passes.
Final Answer:
The assignment inside before creates a local variable, not changing let value -> Option A
Quick Check:
Assignment in before is local, does not override let [OK]

Quick Trick: Assigning to let name in before creates local variable [OK]
