Let's look at writing one's own methods in Ruby with the help of a simple program mymethods.rb. Observe that we use def and end to declare a method. Parameters are simply a list of local variable names in parentheses.

                # A simple method

                def hello

                puts 'Hello'

                end

                #use the method
                hello

                # Method with an argument - 1
                def hello1(name)
                 puts 'Hello ' + name
                 return 'success'
                end

                puts(hello1('satish'))

                # Method with an argument - 2
                def hello2 name2
                 puts 'Hello ' + name2
                 return 'success'
                end

                puts(hello2 'talim') # A method returns the value of the last line
