How about

def test(obj)
	if [Array, Hash, Class].include?(obj.class) then
		puts obj.class.to_s
	else
		puts "ugh"
	end
end

I suspect that the case statement may be faster.

<excerpt>    def test( obj )

        case obj

           when Array then puts "Array"

           when Hash  then puts "Hash"

           when Class then puts "Class"

           else puts "ugh"

        end

    end

</excerpt>

How about


<fixed>def test(obj)

	if [Array, Hash, Class].include?(obj.class) then     

		puts obj.class.to_s

	else

		puts "ugh"

	end

end</fixed>
