Dear ruby fans...
Just a quick question: I always thought underscores in numbers were ignored, like 100_000, 10_00 or 666_6.
Buuut: did anyone of you tried to do following?
0_50
WTH 
Really - try it
Would be great if someone could answer why this is not working as I imagined?
Have a nice afternoon!
When you prefix a number with a 0, it's interpreted in octal. Hence, 5 * 8
= 40.

than decimal.
[1] pry(main)> 0_50
=> 40
[2] pry(main)> 050
=> 40
[3] pry(main)> 050.to_s(10)
=> "40"
[4] pry(main)> 050.to_s(8)
=> "50"

And what if I write not one but two zeroes in front of it? Will it turn
into a black woman?
It must be what happened to 007
