Noob question, debugging

ruby-talk

Hello fellow programmers,

I have a question about debugging. To be more specific, about setting a
breakpoint. I'm not sure where to put a breakpoint in the code.

/somecode

class Array
  def add
    ..
  end
end

class String
  def triple
    ..
  end
end

module Module

  def self.makesomething
    a = []
    b = ''
    a.triple
    a.add
    c = clean(a)
/debugpoint 1/
    b.triple
    b.add
  end

  def self.clean(x)
    x
  end

end

/somecode

I have three questions:

1 Is a breakpoint allays used to test one def at a time ?
2 I've read a breakpoint will ignore everything below itself, is that
true?
3 If 2 is true how can I test 'makesomething' while the 'clean' method
is ignored??

I will be very pleased if someone will share his or her knowledge!

Tnx!
