Parser peculiarity. You can't use a local variable defined for the =20
first time in the clause of an inline-if for that statement. Define a =20=

before it reaches that line, or use this instead:

if a =3D b then puts a end

--=20
# Mikael H=F8ilund
def method_missing(m, a=3D0) a +
m.to_s[/[a-z]+/].size * 2; end

Hier from Programming Ruby book. Its not exactly for this case, but i think it gets close :

----
When Ruby sees a name such as ``a'' in an expression, it needs to determine if it is a local variable reference or a call to a method with no parameters. To decide which is the case, Ruby uses a
heuristic. As Ruby reads a source file, it keeps track of symbols that have been assigned to. It assumes that these symbols are variables. When it subsequently comes across a symbol that might be
either a variable or a method call, it checks to see if it has seen a prior assignment to that symbol. If so, it treats the symbol as a variable; otherwise it treats it as a method call.
----

There is also this example down below :

----
Note that the assignment does not have to be executed---Ruby just has to have seen it. This program does not raise an error.

a = 1 if false; a

God directed man to leave his mother and father and become one with his wife.

That's adam and eve and not adam and steve.

That's all it is anyway. It's impossible to satisfy the definition of marriage
for them.

Yes, there is. It's called moral decadence.

Do you follow all the other practices prescribed in your bible?

Do you NOT do anything that's NOT prescribed in your bible?

Both seem extremely unlikely.

Nobody's perfect but I'll bet Duke is a real man, which means he prefers

If you insist that belief in your mumbo-jumbo is moral decadence, I will
not gainsay you.

For the intellectual, the bible takes the pagan to the Jew to the Christian. I
am a Christian, the no-covenant to the old covenant to the new covenant.
