Programming Ruby 3.2 (5th Edition) vB1.0: Book source string interpolation failure? (p.89)
@noelrappin On page 89 of the PDF in the last sentence of the last paragraph of the page and just before the example that begins “class Child < Parent,” there is an out of place #{sec.super}
which doesn’t appear to be part of the subject being discussed and is in a place where there would normally be a reference to another part of the book.
"...that were given to the original method.", more about this in #{sec.super}.)
^ <---- ----> ^ outside ""? ----> ^^^^^^^^^^^^
Is it possible that string interpolation didn’t happen because one of the double quotes preceding #{sec.super}
in your book’s source wasn’t escaped?
Also, as I was writing all that I noticed something else:
Should this punctuation:
"...that were given to the original method.", more about this in #{sec.super}.)
----> ^ ^ <----
be changed to this?
"...that were given to the original method," more about this in #{sec.super}.)
Or, maybe this is even more appropriate?
"...that were given to the original method"; more about this in #{sec.super}.)
First Post!

It’s not exactly a string interpolation error, it’s more that I used the wrong syntax for a cross-link. Should be fixed
