From: Karan Rajput Date: 2010-12-23T00:22:33+09:00 Subject: Base class method Need base class value Could anybody suggest what am i suppose to do for below problem. Class Base def age return 18 end def getOldAge age end end Class Der < Base def age return 19 end end ob = Der.new() ob.getOldAge() above run command will give me output as 19. Because its now overridden by Der class and its 'age' method. So, Question is 1. Is it possible for getOldAge method from base class to call its own class method age? Means which returns 18, not 19. In base class, i should have control for accessing only my class method regardless of overriding existing class by some else class. -Thanks in advance. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
