After passing a reference to an method, any mods using that reference are not visible outside the me
- by Jason
I am passing the reference of name to *mod_name*, I modify the referenced object from within the method but the change is not visible outside of the method, if I am referring to the same object from all locations how come the value is different depending on where I reference it?
name = "Jason"
puts name.object_id #19827274
def mod_name(name)
puts name.object_id #19827274
name = "JasonB"
end
puts name.object_id #19827274
puts name #Jason
String might be a bad example, but I get the same result even if I use a Fixnum.
