<<< Randal said... Setting "each" to "nil" there does nothing, since you aren't updating the object that was originally in "each". >>>
<< Marcus said... This is a pretty common misconception. It seems to come up once a month. I wonder why - mostly it's not people who are new to programming, who I would expect to be unfamiliar with the distinction between an object or value and the location it is stored in.>> I was wondering exactly that myself. After my 'doh!' moment, when Randal explained what I was doing wrong, I was trying to work out why I had made the mistake. The conclusion I came to was that I was becoming so used to sending messages to objects, that I had confused myself into thinking that I was somehow sending 'become nil' to the object stored in :each.
