Asp Forum - block_given? problem

I can't figure out why the do...end block isn't detected by the
"block_given?" function. The problem occurs when a method call with a
block is used in a puts statement. See the code example below.
Can some one explain this to me please? Is this a bug?

class TheClass
def self.TheMethod()
if block_given?
puts "yes, block given"
else
puts "no block is given"
end
'return val'
end
end

# ok
puts TheClass.TheMethod {|param| 123}

# block not detected
puts TheClass.TheMethod do |param|
123
end

# ok
a = TheClass.TheMethod {|param| 123}
puts a

# ok
a = TheClass.TheMethod do |param|
123
end
puts a

puts( TheClass.TheMethod do nil end )

do...end and {} do not have the same precedence, thus, without the ()
you are doing this
puts( TheClass.TheMethod ) do nil end

This is because do..end block gets attached to the 'puts' instead of
TheMethod.

do..end and {||..} differ in precedence. {||..} binds to the rightmost
method, while do..end to the leftmost one.

There you have no ambiguity as there is only one method call.

do..end vs {}
and vs. &&
or vs. ||
not vs !

I think that it can be said that generally in ruby "symbols bind
tighter than words"

Not exactly.

Only for those naive people who take the Bible literally.
