Subject: [ruby-talk:17581] perfect newbie

Hello everybody,

I'm a total newbie to OOP and Ruby. Actually I want to learn how to do OOP and choose Ruby because I read that it's a nice
OOP programming language and it's also good for beginners like me.

I have for the moment a problem with the "class instance variables".

There is the folowing written in the FAQ:

"There is no way to access class instance variables from instance methods." 

Why is the next piece of code returning "My Way" to stdout?

The code is just a slight modification of Example 1 from the article:

Programming in Ruby by Dave Thomas and Andy Hunt

class Song
 def initialize(title)
  @title = title
 end
 def to_s
  p @title
 end
end

aSong = Song.new("My Way")

aSong.to_s


Regards,

Serban Udrea
