# Ruby 3 adds endless method definition

Ruby 3 adds endless method definition

Ruby 3.0 adds endless method definition. It enables us to create method
definitions without the need of `end` keyword. It is marked as an experimental
feature.

```ruby
# endless method definition
>> def raise_to_power(number, power) = number ** power

>> raise_to_power(2, 5)

=> 32

```

The discussion around it can be found
[here](https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16746). Check out the
[pull request](https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/2996/files) for more details on
this.
