test if variable exists in ruby

Testing if a variable exists in ruby is pretty easy.

irb(main):001:0> defined? variablename

This will return if it's defined but not just variables but a few things

  • "local-variable"
  • "global-variable"
  • nil # (undefined)
  • "method"
  • "super"
  • "yield"
