Team,

Please be easy on me, but I was wondering why methods that belong to the
Enumerable class have a # (pound) sign. For instance:


   - #all? <http://ruby-doc.org/core-2.0/Enumerable.html#method-i-all-3F>
   - #any? <http://ruby-doc.org/core-2.0/Enumerable.html#method-i-any-3F>
   - #chunk <http://ruby-doc.org/core-2.0/Enumerable.html#method-i-chunk>
   - #collect<http://ruby-doc.org/core-2.0/Enumerable.html#method-i-collect>

Etc.

What is the meaining of the # there?

Thank you
