Subject: Re: value by reference

What I was missing, this thread made me to understand that.

a = 5
puts a.class -> Fixnum

As I knew everything is object in Ruby.. I thought a = 5 would do something like Fixnum.new(5) internally.
and 'a' would remain as object. I was wrong at this point.

Thanks everybody, specially Florian and Austin for their nice explanation.

I am out of this tread.
