You should really work through a basic text on the Ruby language before  
trying to do a specific project.

Bear in mind Ruby is interpreted and it executes as it goes along so  
there are constraints on jumping forward. An if/case statement will take  
you down different routes or you can call previously declared code by  
name (ie def ).

There is no GOTO in Ruby - fortunately. If this is what you are asking.

If you always want line 6 to follow line 3 just throw out lines 4 and  
5. For all other cases you need control flow directives, like “if”,  
“else”, “case”, “when” etc. See
