I dont understand how #{…} construct is used in Ruby.

I’ve seen in used in the regexp example on http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-1.9.3/Regexp.html

place = "tokyo"
/#{place}/.match("Go to tokyo")
    #=> #<MatchData "tokyo">

What exactly is this #{…} feature called and does anyone know of some good working examples of this.

Really appreciate the help.

Thanks!
