If in a ruby file I define a function like so:

def tell_the_truth()
    puts "truth"
end

is there an equivalent to python’s main?

if __name__ == "__main__":
    tell_the_truth()

Is it to simply call the function inside the file?

tell_the_truth

    I believe this will work:

    if __FILE__ == $0
        tell_the_truth()
    end
