标题: constructer of class in ruby [打印本页] 作者: 中关村村草 时间: 2011-09-01 16:33 标题: constructer of class in ruby constructer of class in ruby
.1. for a string class:
s = "foobar" # this a literal constructor for strings using double quotes
s.class => String
we see here that string respond to the method "class", and return the class it belong to.
2. instead of using literal constructor, we can use named constructor, so call the new method on the class name:
s = String.new("foobar")
s.class
s == "foobar" => true
3. array works the same way:
a = Array.new([1,2,3])
4. hash is different:
h = Hash.new => {} # this will create a new empty hash
h[:foo] => nil
but if you specify a value in the constructor call, this value will be the default value for the hash, so for each nonexistent key, it is value will be this value instead of nil.
h = Hash.new(0)
h[:foo] => 0
5. in the definition of the constuctor, the method name is
def initialize(param)
.......
end
6. there is superclass method that will be useful:
s = String.new("foobar")
s.class => String
s.class.superclass => Object
s.class.superclass.superclass => BasicObject
s.class.superclass.superclass.superclass => nil
This pattern is true of every Ruby object: trace back the class hierarchy far enough and every class in Ruby ultimately inherits from BasicObject, which has no superclass itself. This is the technical meaning of “everything in Ruby is an object”.作者: zhlong8 时间: 2011-09-01 22:15
