Including vs Extending a Module - Updates with module example

gistfile1.rb

# Here, I am define a "module" with name Ma. I also define two methods. One without "self."
# and one with. See, later on, what happens when I "include" and what happens when I "extend"
# the "module" within a "class".
#
module Ma
  # I will be able to make this method an instance or a class method of a class.
  # It depends whether I will "include" or "extend" the module in the class.
  # Note that this method, I cannot call it directly on Ma. In order for this method
  # to be useful, I have to include or extend this module within a class.
  #
  def ma_method1
    puts "ma_method1"
  end

  # This method, is not reusable, in the sense that I cannot make it be an instance of class
  # method of a class. But still, it is a method of module Ma and I can call it directly.

    puts "ma_method2"
