What's the difference between keyword_end and end-of-input in ruby?

Sometimes, I ran into an error like this in ruby:

syntax error, unexpected keyword_end, expecting end-of-input

So, I want to know the difference between keyword_end and end-of-input

keyword_end implies that you had a block of code with a missing end.

def fun(f)
    puts "Oops!"

End-of-input implies that you have already closed up blocks of code with one too many end keywords.

def fun(f)
    puts "Okay..."
end
end

Keyword 'end' is the end statement in Ruby that comes at the end of methods, classes, etc. end-of-input is the actual end of your code file. The message you got means you have an extra 'end' statement somewhere.
