[QUOTE="Brian Adkins, post: 4602125"] Huh? My understanding has always been that x ||= y is shorthand for x = x || y just as x += y is shorthand for x = x + y. That also seems to be the understanding of the "Programming Ruby" text (p. 125 of the latest). In other words, an assignment will take place even if it's superfluous. [/QUOTE]
