just type in the name of method to call it. And that's all!

Eg:

def my_method(name)
  puts"My name is #{name}"
end

Now to call my_method,

my_method "Amrit"
def greet
     puts "Hello World"
end

greet

just type it in at the bottom.

Lets setup a method - we will name it say_hello.

def say_hello
    puts 'Hello there!'
end

To call the method - type out the name. In our case:

say_hello
