From: Brian Schlect Date: 2006-10-26T09:30:55+09:00 Subject: Calling functions in a child class I have a class: class alpha def test_method puts "test method" end def get_methods puts alpha.methods end end running "get_methods" here will return a long list of methods including test_method. But, I also have this class: class bravo < alpha def another_test_method end end i want to be able to call get_methods in the parent class and have it return the functions of the child class as well. so in this example: test_obj = bravo.new bravo.get_methods would return all methods including test_method another_test_method any ideas? thanks, Brian -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
