You can use this syntax, too. "args" becomes an array of all arguments given.

It's about the scope of the variable; i.e., what parts of your code can
see those variables.

Global variables are visible from any piece of code because their scope
is global. They exist outside of any method, class or module. Globals
start with $; i.e., $ARGV, $ANYBODY_CAN_SEE_ME and the like. And, the
big one, global variables exist from the moment they are created until
the application exits.

Local variables only exist within a method or code block of some sort.
So in the following code snippet:

def farkle
  updated_count = $FARKLE_COUNT
  updated_count += 1
  $FARKLE_COUNT = updated_count
end

$FARKLE_COUNT is a global variable, while updated_count is a local
variable; i.e., when the method farkle() exits then updated_count will
no longer exist.

HTH.
