In Ruby, Redo statement is used to repeat the current iteration of the loop. redo always used inside the loop. The redo statement restarts the loop without evaluating the condition again. Ruby 
# Ruby program of using redo statement

#!/usr/bin/ruby
restart = false

# Using for loop
for x in 2..20
    if x == 15
        if restart == false

            # Printing values
            puts "Re-doing when x = " + x.to_s
            restart = true

            # Using Redo Statement
            redo
        end
    end
    puts x
end
Output: 
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
Re-doing when x = 15
15
16
17
18
19
20
In above example, redo statement apply when x = 15.

retry Statement:

To repeat the whole loop iteration from the start the retry statement is used. retry always used inside the loop. Example #1: Ruby 
# Ruby program of retry statement

# Using do loop
10.times do |i|
  begin
    puts "Iteration #{i}"
    raise if i > 2
  rescue

    # Using retry
    retry
  end
end
Output: 
Iteration 0
Iteration 1
Iteration 2
Iteration 3
Iteration 3
Iteration 3
...
Example #2: Ruby 
# Ruby program of retry statement
def geeks
  attempt_again = true
  p 'checking'
  begin

    # This is the point where the control flow jumps
    p 'crash'
    raise 'foo'
      rescue Exception => e
        if attempt_again
          attempt_again = false

      # Using retry
      retry       
    end
  end
end
