Whitespace

Indentation

Use soft-tabs with a two-space indent.^[link]

Indent when as deep as case. ^[link]

case
when song.name == 'Misty'
  puts 'Not again!'
when song.duration > 120
  puts 'Too long!'
when Time.now.hour > 21
  puts "It's too late"
else
  song.play
end

kind = case year
       when 1850..1889 then 'Blues'
       when 1890..1909 then 'Ragtime'
       when 1910..1929 then 'New Orleans Jazz'
       when 1930..1939 then 'Swing'
       when 1940..1950 then 'Bebop'
       else 'Jazz'
       end

Align function parameters either all on the same line or one per line.^[link]

# bad
def self.create_translation(phrase_id, phrase_key, target_locale,
                            value, user_id, do_xss_check, allow_verification)
  ...
end

# bad
def self.create_translation(phrase_id,
                            phrase_key,
                            target_locale,
                            value,
                            user_id,
                            do_xss_check,
                            allow_verification)
  ...
end

# good
def self.create_translation(
  phrase_id,
  phrase_key,
  target_locale,
  value,
  user_id,
  do_xss_check,
  allow_verification
)
  ...
end

Indent succeeding lines in multi-line boolean expressions.^[link]

# bad
def is_eligible?(user)
  Trebuchet.current.launch?(ProgramEligibilityHelper::PROGRAM_TREBUCHET_FLAG) &&
  is_in_program?(user) &&
  program_not_expired
end

# good
def is_eligible?(user)
  Trebuchet.current.launch?(ProgramEligibilityHelper::PROGRAM_TREBUCHET_FLAG) &&
    is_in_program?(user) &&
    program_not_expired
end

Inline

Never leave trailing whitespace. ^[link]

When making inline comments, include a space between the end of the code and the start of your comment. ^[link]

# bad
result = func(a, b)# we might want to change b to c

# good
result = func(a, b) # we might want to change b to c

Use spaces around operators; after commas, colons, and semicolons; and around { and before }. ^[link]

sum = 1 + 2
a, b = 1, 2
1 > 2 ? true : false; puts 'Hi'
[1, 2, 3].each { |e| puts e }

Never include a space before a comma. ^[link]
```
result = func(a, b)
```
Do not include space inside block parameter pipes. Include one space between parameters in a block. Include one space outside block parameter pipes. ^[link]
```
# bad
{}.each { | x,  y |puts x }

# good
{}.each { |x, y| puts x }
```
Do not leave space between ! and its argument.^[link]
```
!something
```
No spaces after (, [ or before ], ). ^[link]
```
some(arg).other
[1, 2, 3].length
```

Omit whitespace when doing string interpolation.^[link]

# bad
var = "This #{ foobar } is interpolated."

# good
var = "This #{foobar} is interpolated."

Don't use extra whitespace in range literals.^[link]

# bad
(0 ... coll).each do |item|

# good
(0...coll).each do |item|

Newlines

Add a new line after if conditions spanning multiple lines to help differentiate between the conditions and the body. ^[link]

if @reservation_alteration.checkin == @reservation.start_date &&
   @reservation_alteration.checkout == (@reservation.start_date + @reservation.nights)

  redirect_to_alteration @reservation_alteration
end

Add a new line before and after conditionals, blocks, case statements, etc.^[link]

if robot.is_awesome?
  send_robot_present
end

robot.add_trait(:human_like_intelligence)

Don’t include newlines between areas of different indentation (such as around class or module bodies). ^[link]

# bad
class Foo

  def bar
    # body omitted
  end

end

# good
class Foo
  def bar
    # body omitted
  end
end

Include one, but no more than one, new line between methods.^[link]
```
def a
end

def b
end
```

Use a single empty line to break between statements to break up methods into logical paragraphs internally. ^[link]

def transformorize_car
  car = manufacture(options)
  t = transformer(robot, disguise)

  car.after_market_mod!
  t.transform(car)
  car.assign_cool_name!

  fleet.add(car)
  
  car
end

End each file with a newline. Don't include multiple newlines at the end of a file. ^[link]

Line Length

Keep each line of code to a readable length. Unless you have a reason to, keep lines to fewer than 115 characters. (rationale)^[link]

Commenting

Though a pain to write, comments are absolutely vital to keeping our code readable. The following rules describe what you should comment and where. But remember: while comments are very important, the best code is self-documenting. Giving sensible names to types and variables is much better than using obscure names that you must then explain through comments.

When writing your comments, write for your audience: the next contributor who will need to understand your code. Be generous — the next one may be you!

—Google C++ Style Guide

Portions of this section borrow heavily from the Google C++ and Python style guides.

Methods

Method definitions

Use def with parentheses when there are parameters. Omit the parentheses when the method doesn't accept any parameters.^[link]
```
def some_method
  # body omitted
end

def some_method_with_parameters(arg1, arg2)
  # body omitted
end
```

Do not use default positional arguments. Use keyword arguments (if available - in Ruby 2.0 or later) or an options hash instead.^[link]

# bad
def obliterate(things, gently = true, except = [], at = Time.now)
  ...
end


# bad
def obliterate(things, options = {})
  options = {
    gently: true, # obliterate with soft-delete
    :except => [], # skip obliterating these things
    :at => Time.now, # don't obliterate them until later
  }.merge(options)

  ...
end

# good
def obliterate(things, gently: true, except: [], at: Time.now)
  ...
end

Avoid single-line methods. Although they are somewhat popular in the wild, there are a few peculiarities about their definition syntax that make their use undesirable. ^[link]
```
# bad
def too_much; something; something_else; end

# good
def some_method
  # body
end
```

Method calls

Use parentheses for a method call:

If the method returns a value. ^[link]

# bad
@current_user = User.find_by_id 1964192

# good
@current_user = User.find_by_id(1964192)

If the first argument to the method uses parentheses.^[link]

# bad
put! (x + y) % len, value

# good
put!((x + y) % len, value)

Never put a space between a method name and the opening parenthesis.^[link]
```
# bad
f (3 + 2) + 1

# good
f(3 + 2) + 1
```
Omit parentheses for a method call if the method accepts no arguments.^[link]
```
# bad
nil?()

# good
nil?
```
If the method doesn't return a value (or we don't care about the return), parentheses are optional. (Especially if the arguments overflow to multiple lines, parentheses may add readability.) ^[link]
```
# okay
render(:partial => 'foo')

# okay
render partial: 'foo'
```

In either case:

If a method accepts an options hash as the last argument, do not use { } during invocation. ^[link]

# bad
get '/v1/reservations', { :id => 54875 }

# good
get '/v1/reservations', id: 54875

Conditional Expressions

Conditional keywords

Never use then for multi-line if/unless. ^[link]

# bad
if some_condition then
  ...
end

# good
if some_condition
  ...
end

Never use do for multi-line while or until.^[link]

# bad
while x > 5 do
  ...
end

until x > 5 do
  ...
end

# good
while x > 5
  ...
end

until x > 5
  ...
end

The and, or, and not keywords are banned. It's just not worth it. Always use &&, ||, and ! instead. ^[link]

Modifier if/unless usage is okay when the body is simple, the condition is simple, and the whole thing fits on one line. Otherwise, avoid modifier if/unless. ^[link]

# bad - this doesn't fit on one line
add_trebuchet_experiments_on_page(request_opts[:trebuchet_experiments_on_page]) if request_opts[:trebuchet_experiments_on_page] && !request_opts[:trebuchet_experiments_on_page].empty?

# okay
if request_opts[:trebuchet_experiments_on_page] &&
     !request_opts[:trebuchet_experiments_on_page].empty?

  add_trebuchet_experiments_on_page(request_opts[:trebuchet_experiments_on_page])
end

# bad - this is complex and deserves multiple lines and a comment
parts[i] = part.to_i(INTEGER_BASE) if !part.nil? && [0, 2, 3].include?(i)

# okay
return if reconciled?

Never use unless with else. Rewrite these with the positive case first.^[link]

# bad
unless success?
  puts 'failure'
else
  puts 'success'
end

# good
if success?
  puts 'success'
else
  puts 'failure'
end

Avoid unless with multiple conditions.^[link]

  # bad
  if !(foo? && bar?)
    ...
  end

  # good
  unless foo? && bar?
    ...
  end

Avoid unless with comparison operators if you can use if with an opposing comparison operator.^[link]

  # bad
  unless x == 10
    ...
  end

  # good
  if x != 10
    ...
  end

  # bad
  unless x < 10
    ...
  end

  # good
  if x >= 10
    ...
  end

  # ok
  unless x === 10
    ...
  end

Don't use parentheses around the condition of an if/unless/while. ^[link]

# bad
if (x > 10)
  ...
end

# good
if x > 10
  ...
end

Ternary operator

Avoid the ternary operator (?:) except in cases where all expressions are extremely trivial. However, do use the ternary operator(?:) over if/then/else/end constructs for single line conditionals.^[link]
```
# bad
result = if some_condition then something else something_else end

# good
result = some_condition ? something : something_else
```

Use one expression per branch in a ternary operator. This also means that ternary operators must not be nested. Prefer if/else constructs in these cases.^[link]

# bad
some_condition ? (nested_condition ? nested_something : nested_something_else) : something_else

# good
if some_condition
  nested_condition ? nested_something : nested_something_else
else
  something_else
end

Avoid multiple conditions in ternaries. Ternaries are best used with single conditions. ^[link]

Avoid multi-line ?: (the ternary operator), use if/then/else/end instead. ^[link]

# bad
some_really_long_condition_that_might_make_you_want_to_split_lines ?
  something : something_else

# good
if some_really_long_condition_that_might_make_you_want_to_split_lines
  something
else
  something_else
end

Nested conditionals

Avoid the use of nested conditionals for flow of control. (More on this.) ^[link]

Prefer a guard clause when you can assert invalid data. A guard clause is a conditional statement at the top of a function that returns as soon as it can.

The general principles boil down to:

Return immediately once you know your function cannot do anything more.
Reduce nesting and indentation in the code by returning early. This makes the code easier to read and requires less mental bookkeeping on the part of the reader to keep track of else branches.
The core or most important flows should be the least indented.

# bad
def compute
  server = find_server
  if server
    client = server.client
    if client
      request = client.make_request
      if request
         process_request(request)
      end
    end
  end
end

# good
def compute
  server = find_server
  return unless server
  
  client = server.client
  return unless client
  
  request = client.make_request
  return unless request
  
  process_request(request)
end

# good
def compute
  return unless server
  return unless client
  return unless request
  
  process_request(request)
end

Prefer next in loops instead of conditional blocks.

# bad
[0, 1, 2, 3].each do |item|
  if item > 1
    puts item
  end
end

# good
[0, 1, 2, 3].each do |item|
  next unless item > 1
  
  puts item
end

See also the section "Guard Clause", p68-70 in Beck, Kent. Implementation Patterns. Upper Saddle River: Addison-Wesley, 2008, which has inspired some of the content above.

Syntax

Never use for, unless you know exactly why. Most of the time iterators should be used instead. for is implemented in terms of each (so you're adding a level of indirection), but with a twist - for doesn't introduce a new scope (unlike each) and variables defined in its block will be visible outside it.^[link]
```
arr = [1, 2, 3]

# bad
for elem in arr do
  puts elem
end

# good
arr.each { |elem| puts elem }
```

Prefer {...} over do...end for single-line blocks. Avoid using {...} for multi-line blocks (multiline chaining is always ugly). Always use do...end for "control flow" and "method definitions" (e.g. in Rakefiles and certain DSLs). Avoid do...end when chaining.^[link]

names = ["Bozhidar", "Steve", "Sarah"]

# good
names.each { |name| puts name }

# bad
names.each do |name| puts name end

# good
names.each do |name|
  puts name
  puts 'yay!'
end

# bad
names.each { |name|
  puts name
  puts 'yay!'
}

# good
names.select { |name| name.start_with?("S") }.map { |name| name.upcase }

# bad
names.select do |name|
  name.start_with?("S")
end.map { |name| name.upcase }

Some will argue that multiline chaining would look okay with the use of {...}, but they should ask themselves if this code is really readable and whether the block's content can be extracted into nifty methods.

Use shorthand self assignment operators whenever applicable.^[link]

# bad
x = x + y
x = x * y
x = x**y
x = x / y
x = x || y
x = x && y

# good
x += y
x *= y
x **= y
x /= y
x ||= y
x &&= y

Avoid semicolons except for in single line class definitions. When it is appropriate to use a semicolon, it should be directly adjacent to the statement it terminates: there should be no space before the semicolon.^[link]

# bad
puts 'foobar'; # superfluous semicolon
puts 'foo'; puts 'bar' # two expressions on the same line

# good
puts 'foobar'

puts 'foo'
puts 'bar'

puts 'foo', 'bar' # this applies to puts in particular

Use :: only to reference constants(this includes classes and modules) and constructors (like Array() or Nokogiri::HTML()). Do not use :: for regular method invocation.^[link]

# bad
SomeClass::some_method
some_object::some_method

# good
SomeClass.some_method
some_object.some_method
SomeModule::SomeClass::SOME_CONST
SomeModule::SomeClass()

Avoid return where not required. ^[link]

# bad
def some_method(some_arr)
  return some_arr.size
end

# good
def some_method(some_arr)
  some_arr.size
end

Don't use the return value of = in conditionals^[link]

# bad - shows intended use of assignment
if (v = array.grep(/foo/))
  ...
end

# bad
if v = array.grep(/foo/)
  ...
end

# good
v = array.grep(/foo/)
if v
  ...
end

Use ||= freely to initialize variables. ^[link]

# set name to Bozhidar, only if it's nil or false
name ||= 'Bozhidar'

Don't use ||= to initialize boolean variables. (Consider what would happen if the current value happened to be false.)^[link]
```
# bad - would set enabled to true even if it was false
enabled ||= true

# good
enabled = true if enabled.nil?
```

Use .call explicitly when calling lambdas. ^[link]

# bad
lambda.(x, y)

# good
lambda.call(x, y)

Avoid using Perl-style special variables (like $0-9, $, etc. ). They are quite cryptic and their use in anything but one-liner scripts is discouraged. Prefer long form versions such as $PROGRAM_NAME.^[link]
When a method block takes only one argument, and the body consists solely of reading an attribute or calling one method with no arguments, use the &: shorthand. ^[link]
```
# bad
bluths.map { |bluth| bluth.occupation }
bluths.select { |bluth| bluth.blue_self? }

# good
bluths.map(&:occupation)
bluths.select(&:blue_self?)
```
Prefer some_method over self.some_method when calling a method on the current instance.^[link]
```
# bad
def end_date
  self.start_date + self.nights
end

# good
def end_date
  start_date + nights
end
```
In the following three common cases, self. is required by the language and is good to use:
1. When defining a class method: def self.some_method.
2. The left hand side when calling an assignment method, including assigning an attribute when self is an ActiveRecord model: self.guest = user.
3. Referencing the current instance's class: self.class.

When defining an object of any mutable type meant to be a constant, make sure to call freeze on it. Common examples are strings, arrays, and hashes. (More on this.)^[link]

The reason is that Ruby constants are actually mutable. Calling freeze ensures they are not mutated and are therefore truly constant and attempting to modify them will raise an exception. For strings, this allows older versions of Ruby below 2.2 to intern them.

# bad
class Color
  RED = 'red'
  BLUE = 'blue'
  GREEN = 'green'

  ALL_COLORS = [
    RED,
    BLUE,
    GREEN,
  ]

  COLOR_TO_RGB = {
    RED => 0xFF0000,
    BLUE => 0x0000FF,
    GREEN => 0x00FF00,
  }
end

# good
class Color
  RED = 'red'.freeze
  BLUE = 'blue'.freeze
  GREEN = 'green'.freeze

  ALL_COLORS = [
    RED,
    BLUE,
    GREEN,
  ].freeze

  COLOR_TO_RGB = {
    RED => 0xFF0000,
    BLUE => 0x0000FF,
    GREEN => 0x00FF00,
  }.freeze
end

Naming

Use snake_case for methods and variables. ^[link]
Use CamelCase for classes and modules. (Keep acronyms like HTTP, RFC, XML uppercase.) ^[link]
Use SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE for other constants.^[link]
The names of predicate methods (methods that return a boolean value) should end in a question mark. (i.e. Array#empty?).^[link]
The names of potentially "dangerous" methods (i.e. methods that modify self or the arguments, exit!, etc.) should end with an exclamation mark. Bang methods should only exist if a non-bang method exists. (More on this.) ^[link]

Name throwaway variables _. ^[link]

version = '3.2.1'
major_version, minor_version, _ = version.split('.')

Classes

Avoid the usage of class (@@) variables due to their "nasty" behavior in inheritance. ^[link]
```
class Parent
  @@class_var = 'parent'

  def self.print_class_var
    puts @@class_var
  end
end

class Child < Parent
  @@class_var = 'child'
end

Parent.print_class_var # => will print "child"
```
As you can see all the classes in a class hierarchy actually share one class variable. Class instance variables should usually be preferred over class variables.

Use def self.method to define singleton methods. This makes the methods more resistant to refactoring changes. ^[link]

class TestClass
  # bad
  def TestClass.some_method
    ...
  end

  # good
  def self.some_other_method
    ...
  end

Avoid class << self except when necessary, e.g. single accessors and aliased attributes. ^[link]

class TestClass
  # bad
  class << self
    def first_method
      ...
    end

    def second_method_etc
      ...
    end
  end

  # good
  class << self
    attr_accessor :per_page
    alias_method :nwo, :find_by_name_with_owner
  end

  def self.first_method
    ...
  end

  def self.second_method_etc
    ...
  end
end

Indent the public, protected, and private methods as much the method definitions they apply to. Leave one blank line above and below them.^[link]
```
class SomeClass
  def public_method
    # ...
  end

  private

  def private_method
    # ...
  end
end
```

Exceptions

Don't use exceptions for flow of control. ^[link]

# bad
begin
  n / d
rescue ZeroDivisionError
  puts "Cannot divide by 0!"
end

# good
if d.zero?
  puts "Cannot divide by 0!"
else
  n / d
end

Avoid rescuing the Exception class. ^[link]

# bad
begin
  # an exception occurs here
rescue Exception
  # exception handling
end

# bad
begin
  # an exception occurs here
rescue
  # exception handling
end

# good
begin
  # an exception occurs here
rescue StandardError
  # exception handling
end

Don't specify RuntimeError explicitly in the two argument version of raise. Prefer error sub-classes for clarity and explicit error creation.^[link]

# bad
raise RuntimeError, 'message'

# better - RuntimeError is implicit here
raise 'message'

# best
class MyExplicitError < RuntimeError; end
raise MyExplicitError

Prefer supplying an exception class and a message as two separate arguments to raise, instead of an exception instance. ^[link]

# bad
raise SomeException.new('message')
# Note that there is no way to do `raise SomeException.new('message'), backtrace`.

# good
raise SomeException, 'message'
# Consistent with `raise SomeException, 'message', backtrace`.

Avoid using rescue in its modifier form. ^[link]

# bad
read_file rescue handle_error($!)

# good
begin
  read_file
rescue Errno:ENOENT => ex
  handle_error(ex)
end

Collections

Prefer map over collect.^[link]
Prefer detect over find. The use of find is ambiguous with regard to ActiveRecord's find method - detect makes clear that you're working with a Ruby collection, not an AR object. ^[link]
Prefer reduce over inject. ^[link]
Prefer size over either length or count for performance reasons.^[link]

Prefer literal array and hash creation notation unless you need to pass parameters to their constructors. ^[link]

# bad
arr = Array.new
hash = Hash.new

# good
arr = []
hash = {}

# good because constructor requires parameters
x = Hash.new { |h, k| h[k] = {} }

Favor Array#join over Array#* for clarity. ^[link]

# bad
%w(one two three) * ', '
# => 'one, two, three'

# good
%w(one two three).join(', ')
# => 'one, two, three'

Use symbols instead of strings as hash keys. ^[link]

# bad
hash = { 'one' => 1, 'two' => 2, 'three' => 3 }

# good
hash = { one: 1, two: 2, three: 3 }

Relatedly, use plain symbols instead of string symbols when possible.^[link]
```
# bad
:"symbol"

# good
:symbol
```
Use Hash#key? instead of Hash#has_key? and Hash#value? instead of Hash#has_value?. According to Matz, the longer forms are considered deprecated. ^[link]
```
# bad
hash.has_key?(:test)
hash.has_value?(value)

# good
hash.key?(:test)
hash.value?(value)
```
Use multi-line hashes when it makes the code more readable, and use trailing commas to ensure that parameter changes don't cause extraneous diff lines when the logic has not otherwise changed. ^[link]
```
hash = {
  protocol: 'https',
  only_path: false,
  controller: :users,
  action: :set_password,
  redirect: @redirect_url,
  secret: @secret,
}
```

Use a trailing comma in an Array that spans more than 1 line^[link]

# good
array = [1, 2, 3]

# good
array = [
  'car',
  'bear',
  'plane',
  'zoo',
]

Strings

Prefer string interpolation instead of string concatenation:^[link]

# bad
email_with_name = user.name + ' <' + user.email + '>'

# good
email_with_name = "#{user.name} <#{user.email}>"

Avoid using String#+ when you need to construct large data chunks. Instead, use String#<<. Concatenation mutates the string instance in-place and is always faster than String#+, which creates a bunch of new string objects.^[link]
```
# good and also fast
html = ''
html << '<h1>Page title</h1>'

paragraphs.each do |paragraph|
  html << "<p>#{paragraph}</p>"
end
```

Use \ at the end of the line instead of + or << to concatenate multi-line strings. ^[link]

# bad
"Some string is really long and " +
  "spans multiple lines."

"Some string is really long and " <<
  "spans multiple lines."

# good
"Some string is really long and " \
  "spans multiple lines."

Regular Expressions

Avoid using $1-9 as it can be hard to track what they contain. Named groups can be used instead. ^[link]

# bad
/(regexp)/ =~ string
...
process $1

# good
/(?<meaningful_var>regexp)/ =~ string
...
process meaningful_var

Be careful with ^ and $ as they match start/end of line, not string endings. If you want to match the whole string use: \A and \z.^[link]
```
string = "some injection\nusername"
string[/^username$/]   # matches
string[/\Ausername\z/] # don't match
```

Use x modifier for complex regexps. This makes them more readable and you can add some useful comments. Just be careful as spaces are ignored.^[link]

regexp = %r{
  start         # some text
  \s            # white space char
  (group)       # first group
  (?:alt1|alt2) # some alternation
  end
}x

Percent Literals

Prefer parentheses over curly braces, brackets, or pipes when using %-literal delimiters for consistency, and because the behavior of %-literals is closer to method calls than the alternatives.^[link]
```
# bad
%w[date locale]
%w{date locale}
%w|date locale|

# good
%w(date locale)
```
Use %w freely.^[link]
```
STATES = %w(draft open closed)
```

Use %() for single-line strings which require both interpolation and embedded double-quotes. For multi-line strings, prefer heredocs.^[link]

# bad - no interpolation needed
%(<div class="text">Some text</div>)
# should be '<div class="text">Some text</div>'

# bad - no double-quotes
%(This is #{quality} style)
# should be "This is #{quality} style"

# bad - multiple lines
%(<div>\n<span class="big">#{exclamation}</span>\n</div>)
# should be a heredoc.

# good - requires interpolation, has quotes, single line
%(<tr><td class="name">#{name}</td>)

Use %r only for regular expressions matching more than one '/' character.^[link]

# bad
%r(\s+)

# still bad
%r(^/(.*)$)
# should be /^\/(.*)$/

# good
%r(^/blog/2011/(.*)$)

Avoid the use of %x unless you're going to invoke a command with backquotes in it (which is rather unlikely). ^[link]
```
# bad
date = %x(date)

# good
date = `date`
echo = %x(echo `date`)
```

Rails

When immediately returning after calling render or redirect_to, put return on the next line, not the same line. ^[link]

# bad
render text: 'Howdy' && return

# good
render text: 'Howdy'
return

# still bad
render text: 'Howdy' && return if foo.present?

# good
if foo.present?
  render text: 'Howdy'
  return
end

Scopes

When defining ActiveRecord model scopes, wrap the relation in a lambda. A naked relation forces a database connection to be established at class load time (instance startup). ^[link]

# bad
scope :foo, where(bar: 1)

# good
scope :foo, -> { where(bar: 1) }

# bad
scope :foo, -> (user_id) where(user_id: user_id)

# good
scope :foo, ->(user_id) { where(user_id: user_id) }

Be Consistent

If you're editing code, take a few minutes to look at the code around you and determine its style. If they use spaces around all their arithmetic operators, you should too. If their comments have little boxes of hash marks around them, make your comments have little boxes of hash marks around them too.

The point of having style guidelines is to have a common vocabulary of coding so people can concentrate on what you're saying rather than on how you're saying it. We present global style rules here so people know the vocabulary, but local style is also important. If code you add to a file looks drastically different from the existing code around it, it throws readers out of their rhythm when they go to read it. Avoid this.
