Subject: case (variable) when type1  ... when type2 ... end

Hi all,
how can I write case statement to check of specific type the variable has?
Something like:

case var
when :Fixnum
  puts "#{var} is Fixnum"
when :String
  puts "#{var} is String"
end

I tried this also

case var.class
when 'Fixnum'
  puts "#{var} is Fixnum"
when 'String'
  puts "#{var} is String"
end

but ruby refuses to understand me :(
What is the best way to write conditional that depends of variable type?


Thank you!
