From: Mk 27 Date: 2009-05-26T02:19:29+09:00 Subject: hash assignment [:x] vs ['x'] Being totally new to ruby, I just noticed that using bob['phone'] which coming from perl is a style I'm used to, results in a separate key than bob[:phone] That seems slightly weird, I had assumed the :form is just a shorthand like %w( ). So -- is there anything more that I need to understand about this distinction? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
