Subject: [newbie] converting javascript to ruby (nested methods)

i have a script written in javascript and want to translate it into ruby
(using JRuby) but i face with the error about nested method which used
ofently in javascript.

The script controls a "Calculator" which gui is written in xpml, an xml
wrapper of java-swing components see :
http://www.ultrid.com/index.php?module=Static_Docs&func=view&newlang=eng

then i wonder how to convert this, for example :

function doIt() {
    if ( type.equals("operand") ) {
        doOperand();
    }
    else {
        doValue();
    }
}

into a ruby script.
each calculator's button as two fields associated with it a type (might
be operand (ie +, =, -, /, *...) or value (0..9) and a value .

obviously i've tried something like :

def doIt(type, value)
  if type == "operand"
    doOperand(type, value)
  else  
    doValue(type, value)
  end
end

what is the ruby way for such nested methods ?
