Thanks for the advice and examples, I'll see whether I can understand how the classes and methods work with each other there and set about experimenting with them. Once thing which put me off generating a custom class "from scratch" is that Array appears to be equal to its content (I assume this is a language shortcut), but it seems "custom" objects' values have to be accessed via their accessors. I was hoping for some more succinct syntax than this sort of thing: puts [] #Array is so easy to create puts CustomObject.new([]).value #This looks clunky next to that I'd love to get accustomed proper OO thinking, but I'll inevitably make all the rookie mistakes in the process. It's a lot to get used to all at once given that I've been using Ruby for less than a year, and I have no training other than helpful hints and googling. Thanks again for your patience. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
