* Classes in Ruby are first-class objects---each is an instance of
|
||
|
* class <code>Class</code>.
|
||
|
*
|
||
|
* When a new class is created (typically using <code>class Name ...
|
||
|
* end</code>), an object of type <code>Class</code> is created and
|
||
|
* assigned to a global constant (<code>Name</code> in this case). When
|
||
|
* <code>Name.new</code> is called to create a new object, the
|
||
|
* Typically, you create a new class by using:
|
||
|
*
|
||
|
* class Name
|
||
|
* # some class describing the class behavior
|
||
|
* end
|

|

|
* When a new class is created, an object of type <code>Class</code>
|
||
|
* is initialized and assigned to a global constant (<code>Name</code>
|
||
|
* in this case).
|
||
|
*
|
||
|
* When <code>Name.new</code> is called to create a new object, the
|
||
|
* <code>new</code> method in <code>Class</code> is run by default.
|
||
|
* This can be demonstrated by overriding <code>new</code> in
|

|
||
|
* Object is the root of Ruby's class hierarchy, except from BasicObject
|
||
|
* from which it inherits. Its methods are available to all classes unless
|
||
|
* explicitly overridden.
|
||
|
*
|
||
|
* Object mixes in the Kernel module, making the built-in kernel functions
|
||
|
* globally accessible. Although the instance methods of Object are defined
|
||
|
* by the Kernel module, we have chosen to document them here for clarity.
|
||
|
*
|
||
|
* Different from BasicObject, it is not outside of the namespace of the
|
||
|
* standard library. Common classes do not need to be found with a full class
|
||
|
* path.
