From: Jason Lillywhite Date: 2009-01-24T15:01:18+09:00 Subject: with or without arguments - how? I've used methods before that work with or without arguments. I've tried to figure it out but can't get to the bottom of it. Could someone give me a hint how you would go about creating a method that works for either of these cases? mymethod(x, y) x + y end Then somehow get this to work without the (x, y) arguments...? What I want is to have a method that can do something on default if no arguments are spec'd or I can refine what it does by adding arguments. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
