Overriding constructors
- by demas
Here is sample code:
class One
def initialize(*args)
case args.size
when 0
puts "one initialize"
when 1
puts "one initialize #{args[0]}"
end
end
end
class Two
def initialize(*args)
if args.size == 2 then
puts "two initialize #{args[0]} and #{args[1]}"
else
super(args)
end
end
end
one = One.new
one = One.new("thing")
two = Two.new("some", "other")
two = Two.new("some")
Now I'm launching the code and getting the error message:
[[email protected]][~/temp]% ruby test2.rb
one initialize
one initialize thing
two initialize some and other
test2.rb:17:in `initialize': wrong number of arguments(1 for 0) (ArgumentError)
from test2.rb:17:in `initialize'
from test2.rb:26:in `new'
from test2.rb:26:in `<main>'
How can I call parent's constructor from class Two ?
