My apologies for resending but there were some formatting errors in the code.
I just switched to Ruby and came across it.
If we have to make a class method private then we should write it as:
class Abc
class<<self
private
def fun
p "hello"
end
end
end
But if we write as:
class Abc
private
def self.fun
p "hello"
end
end
then the class method is not private but behaves as public.
So, is it a carefully designed functionality? If so, then what is the thinking behind it?
OR any other reasons behind it?
Somebody told me that ruby encourages to define class methods the first way.
But I think that if you are giving more than one methods to do a thing, then all should function the same way.
Thanks and Regards,
