From: Pascal Hurni Date: 2006-05-18T21:50:42+09:00 Subject: instance variables for Fixnum? Hi, I'm studying ruby and tried this: irb(main):001:0> 1.instance_variable_set(:@foo, 123) => 123 irb(main):002:0> 2.instance_variable_get(:@foo) => nil irb(main):003:0> 1.instance_variable_get(:@foo) => 123 How is this possible? I thought Fixnum were 'value' type not real objects. (in C they are VALUE which holds the value of the fixnum) Thanx, PHI
