Please help me out in this

Answer 1

This means there is a syntax error and translates to “the end keyword was found when nothing more was expected to complete the program”. This is usually due to an unbalanced number of “openers”. For instance,

foo.rb: (demonstration)

if true
  puts "hello world"
  end   # the indent
end     # is a lie

Line 4: syntax error, unexpected kEND [keyword_end], expecting $end

Happy coding.
