Question

I’m adding a new method to the String class in Ruby, How can I get the value of the class?

e.g.:

class String  def myMethodName(arguments)    # here I want the string value  end end  puts 'Lennie'.myMethodName() # this should return 'Lennie' or whatever the value of the string is. 

Thanks

You should be able to access the actual string value by referring to self:

class String     def myMethodName()         self     end end  puts 'Lennie'.myMethodName() # => 'Lennie'
