OPTIONS
--version Prints the version of irb.
-E external[:internal]
--encoding external[:internal]
Same as `ruby -E' . Specifies the default value(s) for external encodings

You can omit the one for internal encodings, then the value
(Encoding.default_internal) will be nil.

-U Same as `ruby -U' . Sets the default value for internal encodings
(Encoding.default_internal) to UTF-8.
-d Same as `ruby -d' . Sets $DEBUG to true.
-f Suppresses read of ~/.irbrc.
-w Same as `ruby -w' .
-W Same as `ruby -W' .
-h
--help Prints a summary of the options.
-r library Same as `ruby -r'. Causes irb to load the library using require.

irb(main):003:1> x + 1
irb(main):004:1> end
=> :t
irb(main):005:0> t(3)
=> 4
irb(main):006:0> if t(3) == 4
irb(main):007:1> p :ok
