Subject: [ruby-talk:23629] Re: sleeping, calling methods inside class defs

David, Guy,

thanks a lot for your help.

In the following: what would be the most convenient and elegant way to 
omit the line
   t.assign_hey_ho_string
(and perhaps more code)?

-----
class Tobi

   def hey
     "hey!\n"
   end
   def ho
     "ho!\n"
   end

   def assign_hey_ho_string
     @hey_ho_string = hey + ho
   end

   def hey_ho_string
     @hey_ho_string
   end

end

t = Tobi.new

t.assign_hey_ho_string

puts t.hey_ho_string
-----

I now know that I can't just call
   @hey_ho_string = hey + ho
inside the classdef.

What would be a good way to achieve the same effect in this case, 
without having to call the assign method from the object?


Tobi
