Question

I have a method that calls the base implementation:

class B
  def m x, y
    x + y
  end
end

class C < B
  def m x, y
    super * 10
  end
end

since I never refer to the parameters inside my derived method, is there a way to avoid using parameter names in C.m?

Answer 1

I think this is the closest you’ll be able to come:

class B
  def m x, y
    x + y
  end
end

class C < B
  def m *args
    super * 10
  end
end

=> C.new.m 10, 10 # 200
=> C.new.m 1, 2, 3 # ArgumentError
