  your syntax is not quite ruby...  maybe something like this is what 
you want?

    class Whatever
  attr_accessor :number, :str

  def initialize(number)
    @number = number
    @str = "Your number is : ( #{@number} )"
  end

  def >>
    puts @number
    puts @str
  end

    end

    object = Whatever.new(10)
    object.>>

    # returns:
    => 10
    => Your number is : ( 10 )

  note that you don't need to set :number and :str as atrr_accessors for 
this to work...  if you want to leave them as accessors, you don't 
really need the '>>' method, you could do something like this instead:

    class Whatever
  attr_accessor :number, :str

  def initialize(number)
    @number = number
    @str = "Your number is : ( #{@number} )"
  end

    end

    object = Whatever.new(10)
    puts object.number
    puts object.str

    # also returns:
    => 10
    => Your number is : ( 10 )
