-----Messaggio originale----- Da: Junayeed Ahnaf Nirjhor [mailto:zombiegenerator / aol.com] Inviato: luned14 novembre 2011 12:52 A: ruby-talk ML Oggetto: Noob question regarding custom method Hello, I am still learning ruby. My question is, often we see things like this: def set_miles(miles) @miles = miles end Here, we're defining a custom method set_miles , then passing it an argument (what's the reason of doing so?), then we're setting the instance variable @miles to a local variable miles, why's that for? I know I can use attr_accessor but things like this occurs in various place. What's the point of doing this? I know I sound funny but i can't understand. Any help would be much much much appreciated. -- Junayeed Ahnaf Nirjhor /Doing this and that/ http://twitter.com/nirjhor -- Caselle da 1GB, trasmetti allegati fino a 3GB e in piu' IMAP, POP3 e SMTP autenticato?
