About the ancestors method

There was useful information about the ancestors method in the book, so I summarized it.

Recognition so far



class Mountains
end

class Nepal  < Mountains
  def everest_place
    "nepal"
  end
end

  p Nepal.ancestors
  p Nepal.class.superclass.superclass.superclass

Output result



[Nepal, Mountains, Object, Kernel, BasicObject]
BasicObject

It is inconvenient to follow the inheritance relationship one by one with superclass. I realized that it would be convenient to use the ancestors method to retrieve everything from the current class to BasicObject as an array. (Including modules)

New recognition



module World
 def everest_place
  "china"
 end
end

class Mountains
 def everest_place
  "india"
 end
end

class Nepal < Mountains
  include World
 def everest_place
   "nepal"
 end
end

p Nepal.ancesters

nepal = Nepal.new
puts nepal.everest_place

as mentioned above, ❶ The Nepal class includes the World module, so you can use the Everest_place method of the World module. ❷ The Nepal class inherits the Mountains method, so you can also use the Everest_place method of the Moutains class.

** Suppose you have three everest_place methods, including the everest_place method in the Nepal class ** Of course, the output will change depending on which everest_place method is called.

The ancestors method is useful in such cases. Looking at the output of p Nepal.ancestors,

Nepal.Output result of ancestors


[Nepal, World, Mountains, Object, Kernel, BasicObject]

It will be displayed. ** Since it is called in order from the left, you can see that the everest_place method defined in the Nepal class is fetched. ** **

Let's actually see the result.

Output result


nepal

The return value of the everest_place method defined in the Nepal class has returned properly.
