Subject: Re: Ruby Basics / define met;hod

I did read through your reply.especially this....
"Inside a class body /self/ is the class instance being defined right
now."
I still could not understand.
BTW even this is little foreign to me
puts class<<self;self;end.instance_methods(false).sort

is class an array that you are appending the self array and after that 
you end.instance_methods
Can you explain it in a little black & white...
THnks
