Ruby syntax question

[Aaron]

Was playing around with Ruby. I got this program to run.

def call_block
   yield 'hello', 99
end

call_block {|strVar, numVar| puts strVar+numVar.to_s}

The output is:  hello99

However when I use the below syntax for the yield line, it fails with an "unexpected end of input" error

yield ('hello', 99)

Naturally, a search will show many examples where yield is used with parens. Since yield is a method, I

should be able to call it with parameters using parens or not using parens. Why is the second version failing?

This yield ('hello', 99) should be yield('hello', 99) . No spaces before braces.

Warm Regards,
Vineel Sonnathi
