level: 2
text: Example
- !ruby/struct:SM::Flow::P
body: A simple encoding and decoding.
- !ruby/struct:SM::Flow::VERB
body: " require "base64"\n\n enc = Base64.encode64('Send reinforcements')\n # -> "U2VuZCByZWluZm9yY2VtZW50cw==\\n"\n plain = Base64.decode64(enc)\n # -> "Send reinforcements"\n"
- !ruby/struct:SM::Flow::P
