Hi,
I’m new to this group but have used Ruby for quite a while now (it’s a
great language by the way). In one of my methods I intend to divide a
Fixnum by a second Fixnum. I’d expected a Fixnum result but get Float back.
Can anyone give me an idea of what’s wrong? The code looks like this:
puts @m.class
puts d.class
puts @m
puts d
@m /= d
puts @m.class
puts d.class
puts @m
puts d
and the output is:
Fixnum
Fixnum
8
1
Float
Fixnum
8.0
1
Yours, Tore Haug-Warberg
I can’t replicate your output. It works correctly for me.
I am using Ruby 1.8.0, which version do you have?

I can’t replicate your result either. Is there something else going on
in related code?

Yes, I’ve loaded a module I did’nt know about. The problem was (of course)
evil operator overlading. Thanks for your help.
