Programming Ruby 3.2 (5th Edition): B2.0 page 381, 'cat'.methods --> 'dog'.methods

@noelrappin

Already in the previous edition !

page 381, second code, second of the four puts : animal is a dog, not a cat

puts "It defines methods #{singleton.instance_methods - 'cat'.methods}"

Even if it doesn’t change the result, it should be one of :

puts "It defines methods #{singleton.instance_methods - 'dog'.methods}"
puts %Q(It defines methods #{singleton.instance_methods - "dog".methods})

First Post!

Hmm… I think the point here is that it’s the singleton methods minus the string instance methods so, 'cat'.methods is confusing, but I think it actually works. It probably should be animal.methods, though.

Where Next?
