# Evaluating One-Off Commands
When I need to quickly test something out in Ruby, I will often reach for
`irb`. There is an even quicker way to send a line of code to ruby for
evaluation. Use the `ruby` binary with the `-e` flag followed by your line
of ruby. For instance,
```
$ ruby -e 'puts Class.ancestors'
[Class, Module, Object, Kernel, BasicObject]
```
