From: Paul Roche Date: 2010-10-06T11:34:49+09:00 Subject: confused: instances or arrays? Hi. I want to create the following class....... Client attributes name, amount_wealth, loans, lender, bankrupt (a boolean) methods is_client_solvent? (I declare the client bankrupt if total amount of loans is greater than wealth) amount_owed (amount owed to the lender) lender_owed (the amount owed to the lender) I have a few questions about this.... it's possible for a client to have more than one lenders. Do I just create muliple instances eg.. client1 = new Client("Joe Bloggs", 50000, 1000, "USA Bank", nil) client2 = new Client("Joe Bloggs", 50000, 3000, "Chicago Bank", nil) or do I use arrays? Is it correct to use 2 different instance names for client "Joe Bloggs"? i.e client1 and client2 If I use many instances, how do I get the aggregate of loans of each bank for a specific client? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
