From: "Elf M. Sternberg" Date: 2005-12-01T04:17:30+09:00 Subject: Dumb question: in documentation, why Object#method, and not Object.method ? I keep seeing this syntax in documentation: Object#method, but in actual use sending a message to an object is usually object = Object.new object.method Is this just to emphasize that method() operates on an instance of Object and not the class Object?
