[ruby-talk:01507] a few note on new FAQ

Hi,

I started to read the new FAQ.  and I'd like to comment a bit.
I'm reading PDF version and it seems great!  good work guys!

1) '<<' in the sample code of 2.2 is changed to one char.

2) using "3.times" instead of "for i in 1..3" is more rubish, IMHO.

3) on 2.3, following code looks clearer than the other, IMHO

--- 8< --- 8< --- cut --- 8< --- 8< ---
def a
  print "Function 'a': called\n"
  99
end

begin
  print "a is ", a, "\n"
  a = 1   # over write
  print "a is ", a, "\n"
end

--- 8< --- 8< --- cut --- 8< --- 8< ---

$ ruby local.rb
Function a: called
a is 99
a is 1

--- 8< --- 8< --- cut --- 8< --- 8< ---

I'll read more tonight.

regards,
