I need to define a method that performs differently when operated on objects
of different type (overloading). Currently I use various if's to check for
the type of the object as follows:
def somefunction(a)
if a.kind_of?(someType)
expression1
return
end
if a.kind_of(someOtherType)
expression2
return
end
i am wondering if there is a simpler way to implement that without the if's,
in a way similar to C++ overloading. I mean I would like to define two
functions with the same name that will somehow be aware of the type of
their argument...
sincerely,
DG
