The method IS defined, but in the background is what I guess he means. That does sound pretty cool.

If you are saying that Ruby has built in methods in a buiult-in class called order, then that is pretty interesting. I may also have completely missed what you were saying ;-) I must say this line scares me: > Note that I'm not adding that method to the code. It just gets figured > out. I can do this too How the hell does it "just know what to do with it" if the method isn't even defined??? Cheers Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.
