Hello! Forgive my newbie-ness. Using ruby 1.8, while trying to create a similar example of one I found to the book called "The Ruby Way": class Foo @@bar = 10 end Foo.bar = 4 I get: elathan@velka:~/src/ruby> ruby test.rb test.rb:7: undefined method `bar=' for Foo:Class (NoMethodError) Is this behaviour normal?
