Hi,
you have to define a 'hash' method because Array uses a Hash to remove
the duplicates.
e.g.:

Subject: Making Array#uniq workOK, according to the Pickaxe 2nd. Edition, Array#uniq judges
uniqueness
based on eql?. Somehow this doesn't seem to work for me :).
Following code returns the Array with two members instead of
the one I
would wish for. Any pointers? I'm running 1.8.2
----------------------------------------------------------
class A
attr_accessor :a,:b
def initialize a
@a=a
@b=Array.new
end
def << item
@b<<item
end
def eql? other
return true if @a==other.a && @b==other.b
end
def == other
return eql?(other)
end
def hash
a.hash * b.hash
end
end
o1=A.new("a")
o2=A.new("a")
o1<<"o"
o2<<"o"
puts o1==o2
puts o1.eql?(o2)
p [o1,o2].uniq
----------------------------------------------------------
cheers
