# Silence The Output Of A Ruby Statement In Pry
Sometimes running a command in a [`pry`](https://github.com/pry/pry) session
can produce a bunch of verbose output that you aren't interested in seeing.
Here is a contrived line of code whose output will take over the entire screen:
```ruby
(1..200).map { |i| i*i }
#=> [1,
4,
9,
16,
...
```
You can silence all of this output by tacking on a single character -- `;`.
```ruby
(1..200).map { |i| i*i };
```
