From: Alexander Bubnov Date: 2010-03-01T21:31:03+09:00 Subject: What is '?' in Ruby? Hello! To clarify the question I need to say some more. I know Ruby 1.8 '?a' => 97 Ruby 1.9 '?a' => "a" Really I would like to where I can get specification of operator, keyword, function or something else I do know what is name of '?'... I have surfed ruby-lang.org and ruby-doc.org but can't find information about it. Is it an unofficial something? Just a bit here http://www.ruby-doc.org/docs/ProgrammingRuby/, "Standard Types" chapter: ?a # character code But it is related to 1.8 version, not for 1.9. Please just point to chapter of ruby specification where I can find anything about '?' if it is. And are there methods which helps to know what is '?'? Thank you in advance. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
