Hi
a,*b,c = 3
Why is now c=3 ???
Is that a bug?!
Is this only in my case?

Thx Berg

Hi,

with which Ruby version are you running this snippet?

I tried it with versions 1.9.3, 2.0.0 and 2.3.0 C-Ruby and JRuby 9.01.0 in
the irb, and I get the following for all of them:

$ a, *b, c = 3
$ a
$ => 3
$ b
$ =>
$ c
$ => nil

Hi
Thats nice to hear,
I'm on Ruboto-irb
- perhaps it could be corrected there.

Thx Berg

you could use

a, (*b), c = 3

I tested it with jruby-1.7.19 and get the "standard" behaviour nil = c
