Ruby On Rails Interview Questions and Answers
Ques. How can you achieve the same as Multiple Inheritance using Ruby? What is Mixin?Ans.Ruby offers a very neat alternative concept called mixin. Modules can be imported inside other class using mixin. They are then mixed-in with the class in which they are imported. Here’s an example: module Debug
def whoAmI?
"I am #{self.to_s}"
end
end
class Photo
include Debug
end
ph = Photo.new
"I am : #<Photo:0x007f8ea218b270>"As you can see above the class Debug and it’s method “whoamI?” were mixed-in (added) with the class Photo. That’s why you can now create an instance of the Photo class and call the whoAmI? method. ph.whoAmI? => "I am : #<Phonograph:0x007f8ea218b270>" |
