### Using the extensions

SymEngine is a module in the extensions, and the classes are a part of it. To check if

you can use them, fire up the interpreter and load the file

``` ruby

~$ irb

2.2.0 :001 > require 'symengine'

 => true

```

Go ahead and try a function

``` ruby

2.2.0 :002 > SymEngine.ascii_art

 _____           _____         _

|   __|_ _ _____|   __|___ ___|_|___ ___

      |___|               |___|

 => nil
