In Ruby coding, there's this "@" and it does passing something (a variable to another method). Let me show you what I mean.
Here's an example in Ruby on Rails. When you have that "@" in the code, it shows the number on the screen, as you see.
def show @post = Post.find(params[:id]) end
<%= @post %>
If I remove it from the same code, it does not any more.
def show post = Post.find(params[:id]) end
<%= post %>
See you next time!
