Subject: Re: Understanding the use of double pipes in Ruby

First of all thank a lot for your help!

Sorry about the confusion, I was talking more about pipes used in a 
block something like "|hobby|" in the code below.

>hobbies =['Cars','Computers']
>hobbies.each do |hobby|
>>>puts "I love working with #{hobby}"
>end

Is this the only time where "||" will not act as a boolean symbol? If 
this is a local variable why not use paranthesis as follow...

>hobbies =['Cars','Computers']
>hobbies.each do (hobby)
>>>puts "I love working with #{hobby}"
>end


Again my main confusion is because I have never seen double pipes used 
other than as Booleans, why are they used to enclose a local variable?

Sorry if I'm still confusing or not explaining it correclty.
