It seems like a valid point to highlight. Applied without this restraint, since it doesn't make sense: these variables must reference a string (or nil), since the type is validated during assignment, as you wrote yourself. The TypeError doesn't affect `print`. I also modified the grouping a bit (what it does in general; preconditions and argument handling; separators). ---------------------------------------- Bug #12975: Edit documentation for IO#print function https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/12975#change-63353 * Author: Dario Daic * Status: Closed * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Eric Hodel * Target version: * ruby -v: 2.3.0 * Backport: 2.1: UNKNOWN, 2.2: UNKNOWN, 2.3: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- Important changes made: * Delete a duplicate sentence relating to a description of global variable $_ * Split the whole paragraph into three semantically related smaller ones. To make it easier to digest the content. * Emphasize names of separators. To make a distinction between each one. They are similar both in naming and their functions. * Add "and is a string" where usage of $' and $\ is explained. When assigning any other value then a string to each of them, Ruby throws a *TypeError*. It seems like a valid point to highlight. ---Files-------------------------------- 0001-Edit-documentation-for-IO-print.patch (1.98 KB) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
