  1. Click the "Launch Workspace" button on the video page.
  2. Write your own code in the rectangle.rb file to complete the practice, or follow along with the solution video.
  3. Save your code file.
  4. Click in the Console area so a blinking cursor appears.
  5. Type the command ruby rectangle.rb, and press Enter/Return.

Hiya there! You should always work with latest or LTS(long-term support) version of any language 'coz firstly, its the most stable build and secondly, it's backward compatible to any version. And the same goes for Ruby. If you're working on a project, which uses the legacy version of Ruby, you might wanna migrate to a container like architecture, which would make deploy the architecture easier, kinda like Docker.

I hope it helped!
