Another idiom -- perhaps not worthy of the name, because I've only
recently been made aware of it.
Rather than this
def initialize(a, b, c)
@a, @b, @c = a, b, c
end
You can do this
def initialize(*args)
@a, @b, @c = *args
end
Definitely a matter of taste, but worth knowing about. It's easy to
read in code, but it wouldn't be nice in RDoc output.
