Hi Vidhi,

You seem to have a lot of questions!  You would probably really benefit 
from buying the book "Programming Ruby" by Dave Thomas.  He answers a 
lot of the questions you're asking, and a lot more besides.

It takes you all the way from the very basic things, the ones you're 
having some troubles with, all the way to the really advanced stuff.

You can buy a paper version, a PDF, or both!  I'd recommend both.  The 
paper copy is great for sitting and reading, but you can take the PDF 
with you, and can search through it easily.
