Including Files in Ruby Questions

Question

• I am very new to Ruby, so could you please suggest the best practice for splitting files and including them.
• What is the preferred design structure for the file layout. When do you decide to split the algorithm into a new file?
• When do you use load to include other files, and when do you use require ?
• And is there any performance when you include files?

Thanks.

• I make one file for each class, except for classes, which are small helper classes not required by other files. I also share different modules in subdirectories.

• load require require , , load , , . require, , , irb, .
