In this section we will learn what the class method is and how to use it in Ruby.
What is class Method in Ruby?
The Ruby class method can be used on top of objects to see the class that they are built from.
For example, if we call this method on an integer value, we will get the value “Integer”. If we call this method on top of the true value, we will get TrueClass etc.
Example: using class method in Ruby
puts "string value".class
puts 10.class
puts true.class
puts [1,2,3,4].class
Output
String
Integer
TrueClass
ArrayExample: class method in Ruby
if "string value".class == String
puts "The String value is of type String class"
end
Output:
The String value is of type String class
