calling setter method from initialize method

[Le Wang]

Hi all,

Why doesn't aAttribute get set?

class AClass
attr_accessor :aAttribute, :bAttribute
def initialize()
aAttribute= 1
@bAttribute= 1
end
end

a= AClass.new
a.aAttribute # nil
a.bAttribute # 1

Sorry for the noise. I was in a a weird head space , it should be
self.aAttribute.

With aAttribute= 1 you define a local variable aAttribute.

You have to use self.aAttribute= 1
