We caught some code in Ruby that seems odd, and I was wondering if someone could explain it:
$ irb
irb(main):001:0> APPLE = 'aaa'
=> "aaa"
irb(main):002:0> banana = APPLE
=> "aaa"
irb(main):003:0> banana << 'bbb'
=> "aaabbb"
irb(main):004:0> banana
=> "aaabbb"
irb(main):005:0> APPLE
=> "aaabbb"
Catch that? The constant was appended to at the same time the local variable was.
Known behavior? Expected?
