How come this approach of creating a private class method works:
class Person
def self.get_name
persons_name
end
class << self
private
def persons_name
"Sam"
end
end
end
puts "Hey, " + Person.get_name
puts "Hey, " + Person.persons_name #=> raises "private method `persons_name' called for Person:Class (NoMethodError)"
But this does not:
class Person
def self.get_name
persons_name
end
private
def self.persons_name
"Sam"
end
end
puts "Hey, " + Person.get_name
puts "Hey, " + Person.persons_name
