Hi all,

There isn't any way to have a class name starting with lowercase letter.

I was trying it as

class a
end
#  SyntaxError:  compile error
# class/module name must be CONSTANT

so then i tried

a = Class.new
#  #<Class:0x2de1f00>

this shows that "a" is now a reference to the class   #<Class:0x2de1f00>
the Class object

and
B = Class.new
# B

that works absolutely fine.

The point is if we try to assign as

B=a
it gives
# warning: already intialized constant B .... thats fine

but
and now if i check a as

a
# B

so where is the original class of a that was #<Class:0x2de1f00> .... and how
come the assignment happens from RIGHT-to-LEFT ?

any idea ?
