From: Jeff Hales Date: 2008-05-15T05:29:53+09:00 Subject: Re: Array assignment with multiple args I know about parallel assignment, but the oddity of this statement's behavior has had me stumped. I also know to interpret this statement as an assignee, assignor and assignment. I would like to be able to explain 'why' the other assignments are allowed; and, since they are, 'why' b is not assigned ["that","those"]. I know this must sound like a 3 year old's question (eg: but, why? ad infinitum) :p -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
