I am surprised that the code shown below returns, 'Doug'.  I would
expect that it would return, 'Fred'.  Can someone please tell me why?

@name = 'Doug'

def name=(name)
  @name = name
end
def name()
  return @name
end

name=('Fred')
puts(name())

Thanks.

P.S. - Please understand that this question is academic to help me
understand things.  Naturally, I would not do this in practice.  Thanks
again.
