ruby中的字符串+冒号（抄袭自Stack Overflow）

What is the difference between:

1) abc:

2) :xyz

3) abc::xyz

4) abc: :xyz

5) abc: xyz

6) :abc => xyz

Please post if I've missed any of them.

1) abc: it can't exist independently

2) :xyz it is a symbol

:xyz.class
 => Symbol

3) abc::xyz it represents namespace

Example code:

module ABC
    class Xyz
       def initialize
         @size = 400
       end
    end
end

x = ABC::Xyz.new

4) abc: :xyz

hash = {abc: :xyz} #hash key and value all are symbol. 

5) abc: xyz

xyz = "just a test"
hash = {abc: xyz} #hash key is symbol, value is string. 

6) :abc => xyz

xyz = "just a test"
hash = {:abc => xyz} # same with (5)， just another representation

7) ternary operator :

abc = 1
xyz = 2
result = abc > xyz ? abc : xyz
=> result = 2
