Modules provide a structure to collect Ruby classes, methods, and constants into a single, separately named and defined unit.


# Modules solve conflicts by providing namespaces that can contain any number of classes, 
# methods, and constants, and allow you to address them directly.:

module NumberStuff
  def NumberStuff.random
    rand(1000000)
  end
end

module LetterStuff
  def LetterStuff.random
    (rand(26) + 65).chr
  end
end

puts NumberStuff.random
puts LetterStuff.random
