If you have a class 'Thing'
does name of instance variable have to be:
@thing = Thing.new
or is
@widget = Thing.new
O.k. to use?
jet
Variables can be named whatever you'd like. Feel free to use
@widget = Thing.new
If you feel that 'widget' is a good name.

*any* is valid, so any kind of attribute name is also valid.
Again I think you ask this because Rails conventions. If so remember please
that this is a Ruby maillist, and Rails rules/conventions are not a must here.

How far do you think you'd get if you could only use "@fixnum" for numeric
values used as instance variables?
For that matter, what name would you give to an instance variable that
might, like any other variable in the language, hold different types of
objects in different contexts?
In short, the name is purely up to you.

Inaki,
Thanks for the example list.
Actually, I did not ask because it is a Rails thing.
I asked because I needed some fundamental, like very
basic knowledge about Ruby that I did not understand.
...and I did RTFM before this post.
Thanks again,
Jet
