OK, I guess I understand const_set… I guess I even understand the scoping
rules, but I certainly don’t get the scoping rules.
Even though self is Bar, we are at Foo scope? I’m sure there’s some sort of
good reason for this, but could someone clue me in? I’d be far less likely
to get “had” in the future if I understood the principle behind the
behavior.
Thanks,
Chris

This has little to do with const_set - its essentially a
consequenz of general ``constant’’ scoping rules .
class Foo
def Foo.foo
const_set ‘Constant’, 'just a string’
puts self.inspect
puts Constant
end
Constant = 'surprise’
end
$a = Object.new
class Bar < Foo
def $a.show
puts Constant
end
end
Bar.foo
$a.show
Bar
surprise
just a string
