From: Charles Comstock Date: 2003-12-04T01:12:42+09:00 Subject: Re: Attempted roadmap of future instance variables.... So these @_instace vars are giving us dynamic scoping in one instance right? class Super @_var = 0 def get @_var end end class Sub < Super @_var = 1; end Super.new.get -> 1 This occurs because @_var is different in each of these classes but the get method is still inherited. Or am I missing the picture here? I haven't played with Ruby in terms of the objects quite as much, so I may not be following correctly. Charles Comstock
