Question

I’m running this code and it show the same time but i wanted different dates so i put the sleep so it would change the time in 10 seconds.

But is not changing @date_format

 r=Time.now  
 @date_format =  r

def self.asd 
puts  @date_format
 sleep 10
end

def self.asd1  
 puts @date_format
end

How can i do something like this?

Answer 1

Here is one approach that may work for you:

>> @date_format = lambda { Time.now }
=> #<Proc:0x007fdaa4800b98@(irb):5 (lambda)>
>> @date_format.call
=> 2011-12-21 11:20:35 -0500
>> @date_format.call
=> 2011-12-21 11:20:39 -0500

Hope it helps!
