  body: <tt>Symbol</tt> objects represent names and some strings inside the Ruby interpreter. They are generated using the <tt>:name</tt> and <tt>:&quot;string&quot;</tt> literals syntax, and by the various <tt>to_sym</tt> methods. The same <tt>Symbol</tt> object will be created for a given name or string for the duration of a program's execution, regardless of the context or meaning of that name. Thus if <tt>Fred</tt> is a constant in one context, a method in another, and a class in a third, the <tt>Symbol</tt> <tt>:Fred</tt> will be the same object in all three contexts.
