How can I use the last returned value?

Sam Sungshik Kong [mailto:ssk@chol.nospam.net] :

Hello!

In Python, I use '_'(underscore) for the last returned value.
>> > print "Hello"
"Hello"
>> > x = _
>> > print x
"Hello"

What is the equivalent in Ruby?

I'm not sure there is one. There is the $_ variable, but I have yet
to use it in my Ruby.

Be warned, though, that print/puts don't return the printed value,
but rather return +nil+.

irb(main):010:0> puts "Hello"
Hello
=> nil
