bank_account.class #=BankAccount I am unable to understand the meaning and the purpose of this line in code.. Can someone please let me know what is the use of this line

It's actually

bank_account.class #=>BankAccount

The # denotes a comment in Ruby, and so the text following it is just explaining that if you were to call the method named class on the bank_account object, you would expect to see BankAccount returned, since that's its class :)

Thanks a lot Aimee...:)
