I thought you couldn't use camel words in Ruby instead you should use
underscores but I just tried it and it works.

Here is the code I tried.

class Calculator
  def addIt num1,num2
   _num = num1 + num2
    puts _num.to_s
 end
  def subIt num1,num2
   _num = num1 - num2
    puts _num.to_s
 end

end

add = Calculator.new
sub = Calculator.new

add.addIt(5,5)
sub.subIt(5,2)

Is this valid in Ruby or it works but is not semantically correct?

Thanks
