prefixed with the module name you can call the method from anywhere, as is the case with the Math module.


#!/usr/bin/env ruby

module Binary

  def Binary.to_bin( num )
    bin = sprintf("%08b", num)
  end

end

Binary.to_bin( 123 ) # => "01111011"

1.	Modules and Namespaces
2.	Modules provide a structure to collect Ruby classes, methods, and constants into a single, separately named and defined unit.
3.	Creating Modules
4.	store classes inside modules.
5.	access methods inside classes inside modules with Ruby scope resolution operator (::)
6.	Involve demonstrating two classes with the same name, but in different modules
7.	how to create a module and then include it in a class.
8.	require the file containing the module, and then it would work (again, require is expecting a name in the load path).
9.	Initializing Instance Variables Defined by a Module
10.	Abstract method in a module
11.	Use remove_const to delete a constant definition
12.	Avoiding Naming Collisions with Namespaces
13.	Print all modules (excluding classes)
14.	Print all classes (excluding exceptions)
15.	Print all exceptions
