everything beetween sqaure brackets means "optional".

Nested brackets mean: the inner depends on outer
this means you can use:

eval ("puts b")
eval ("puts b", binding)
eval ("puts b", binding,myfile)
eval ("puts b", binding,myfile, 20)


the "->" thing represents the output of the method.
In this case you get an instance of class Object (an Object)
