Subject: accessing class variables from the outside (beginner question)

I am still learning Ruby and   I am trying to get something
like this to work and am unsure how.

I know I could do attr_reader to
access "ones" but ones might be an
array, hash, etc.

Is there a way to do something like this:
class Test
   def initialize
     @try["hashworld"] = 10000
     @ones = 1,2,3,4
   end
   def addit(one,two)
      #can code add one + two, from
      #inside and outside?
      return(one + two)
   end
end
tens = 10,20,30,40,50
a = Test.new
p a.addit(ones[1],tens[0]) #prints 12
p a.addit(tens[3],ones[0]) #prints 41
p a.addit(tens[3],try["hashworld"]) #prints 10040

Thanks,
Tom
