From: Christer Nilsson Date: 2006-01-11T23:29:52+09:00 Subject: on parallel assignment The parallel assignment syntax [a,b] = [c,d] is not allowed I have to write a, b = [c,d] Going deeper [a, [b, c]] = [1, [2, 3]] is not allowed I have to write a, (b, c) = [1, [2, 3]] I'm sure there is a good reason these constructs are disallowed. Can somebody enlighten me? Christer -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
