Subject: Re: Problem with: Exception: cannot convert Class into String

Yes, it is incomplete. I was illustrating that the variable aString is
of type string just before calling the method, and right inside the
method, in the very first command, it is diagnosed as a Class.

-- I renamed the parameter aString in the method definition. That does
not work.
-- I moved the order of calling the method earlier/later in the call
sequence. No dice.
-- I retyped the line. Didn't work.

No that I expected these to make a difference.

I redefined aString inside the method, thus:

def process(aString)
  aString = "ohmy"
  puts aString
end

It works, but doesn't solve the problem.

I wonder what kind of statement that I might have made somewhere  in
the program that would turn a string variable into a Class?

Thanks!
