Subject: [ruby-talk:22576] Fixnum Arithmetic operations NameError

Here is the problem:
Fixnum = Fixnum<space>+<no space>Fixnum causes a
NameError
Fixnum = Fixnum<no space>+<no space>Fixnum  NO ERROR
Fixnum = Fixnum+Fixnum  NO ERROR
Same happens on '-','*'. I did not check the rest.

irb(main):001:0> xx=0

irb(main):002:0> xx = xx + 1

irb(main):003:0> xx = xx +1
NameError: undefined method `xx' for
#<Object:0xa04a970>
