    NameError

    Raised when a given name is invalid or undefined.

    puts foo
    

    raises the exception:

    NameError: undefined local variable or method `foo' for main:Object

    Since constant names must start with a capital:

    Fixnum.const_set :answer, 42
    

    raises the exception:

    NameError: wrong constant name answer
