From: ycsunil Date: 2008-02-26T17:29:55+09:00 Subject: attr_writer vs attr_accessor Hello all, From readings I understood that attr_accessor is the one which has the property of attr_reader and attr_writer. If we define a variable as attr_writer, we can use it to read and write as well. My question is; why do we need to use attr_accessor since attr_writer does the job of read and write? -Sunil
