# By convention, all methods that return booleans end with a question mark
|

5.even? # false
|

5.odd? # true
|

|

# And if a method ends with an exclamation mark, it does something destructive
|
||||
# like mutate the receiver. Many methods have a ! version to make a change, and
|

# a non-! version to just return a new changed version
