Yeah, i was using my buddy's computer. So, I think I understand, but want to make sure I understand how I would use these practically. Basically, using these ruby shortcuts allows me to better work with and manage variables that I won't immediately be saving with my object.
For instance, in your special case, if I need to calculate the intersection of two shapes for the view, but didn't need to save that value in my DB, then I would use the setter method? Maybe in your second example, where I'm doing nothing special, but had these points, I'd be using those points in a view or some other output, but wouldn't be returning them to be stored on a record, at least not immediately. Yes?
