Subject: Re: confusion with Struct class

Hello,

the method is defined as x.greeting, which makes self in it reference 
the object x - which is the class itself. And since the call to name is 
with an implicit receiver, self is used. So the call to name is sent to 
the class object, which returns the class' name (through constant magic 
the class' name is set to "Customer"). Class.new.class.name is similar 
in that we get the class of the new object and call it's name method. 
However, Class.class.name would not give the same result since we'd get 
the class of the class object, which name is "Class" (because all 
classes are instances of the class Class).

Hope I could help.

Regards,
Calvin
