Ruby variables are _not_ typed, but take on the type of whatever they happen to reference at the time. Similarly, the majority of operators have no semantic meaning to Ruby, as they are simply method calls. This is the same as the Smalltalk and (in my limited understanding) the Javascript model. This lack of constraint is one of the defining features of the language. Regards Dave
