1) Knowing what that code does will not make you a better ruby 
programmer.

2) You should never use such a construct in your own code.

If that code is from some tricky quiz question that you have to answer, 
then ok.  But you can safely forget all about that construct the 
momement you are done answering the question.  What that prints is 
totally irrelevant.
