Comparison of class variables and instance variables in Ruby

This article mainly introduces the comparison between class variables and instance variables in Ruby, this article explains the difference between 4-point class variables and instance variables, and gives the code example, the friend can refer to the following

1. The class variable name begins with @@, and a class variable is shared by all instance objects of this class; the instance variable name begins with the @, each instance object has its own different instance variables;

2, class variables must be initialized before use, otherwise the error will be used, and if the instance variable is not initialized, then return nil when it is used;

3. Class variables are private and cannot be accessed directly outside the class, and can be accessed through class methods and instance methods;

Copy code code as follows:

Class B

@ @number = 11

@ @num = 22

def My_method #定义实例方法

Puts @ @number

End

def Self.my_method #定义类方法

Puts @ @num

End

End

b = B.new ()

Puts B.my_method () #通过实例方法访问类变量 => 11

Puts B.my_method () #通过类方法访问类变量 => 22

4, the instance variable is also private, cannot be directly referenced outside the class, can be accessed through class method and instance method;

Copy code code as follows:

Class B

@num = #实际上这是 instance variable of class

@test = 22

def My_method #定义实例方法

Puts @num = #跟前面定义的 @num is not in one scope =>33

Puts @test #跟前面定义的 @test is not in a scope, does not assign an initial value, and therefore returns nil

Puts @new = 567 #在实例运行my_method时才定义的实例变量 =>567

End

def Self.my_method #定义类方法

Puts @num #这里的 @num is the @num =>11 defined earlier

Puts @test # =>22

End

End

b = B.new ()

B.my_method

Puts "--------------------"

B.my_method
