Subject: Constructor or a Method

Take for instance this code:

======== [CODE] =======
def Customer
   attr_accessor :name

   def name
     @name
   end

   def name(=str)
     @name = str
   end
end
=======================

I want to know:

(1) Is 'name' a constructor or a method?
(2) In case I ignore '=' in second method, will it work? Why '=' is
necessary?
