From: Brad Date: 2003-12-12T07:37:00+09:00 Subject: Simple issue giving problems Hello all, I have a problem that may or may not be an easy fix. :) Given the following: a=1 b=2 def swapper(dest,src) dest,src=src,dest end swapper(a,b) p [ a, b ] Why are the values of the variables not swapped? Is there a way to coerce ruby into doing a and b by using src and dest? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Brad
