A basic class consists only of the class keyword and the name of the class. Check it out:

    class NewClass
      # Class magic here
    end

Our NewClass has the ability to create new Ruby objects of class NewClass (just like "Hello!" is a String and 4 is a Fixnum). By convention, class names start with a capital letter and use CamelCase instead of relying_on_underscores.

Instructions

1.

Create a class called Person in the editor. Don’t put anything between class Person and end just yet.
