From: surfunbear@... Date: 2006-07-25T10:55:06+09:00 Subject: question on instance variable access I came accross a problem which made me wonder. Sort of about dotting into a variable. I could find the answer in my ruby book. How would I do the access at the end here. I know I could probably use accessors, but is that the only way to do it ? class A def initialize @num = 3 end end class B def initialize @friend = A.new end myobj = B.new # syntax here ? Is this allowed, is it done another way ? x = myobj.@friend.@num
