Re: define and call methods in ruby

maybe I'm wrong. but what I'm saying is (Here's what I do in java)

public class myclass

{
this.name=name;
}
//defining the method.
public void printMessage()
{
System.out.println("Message");
}
//for some event
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
if (e.getSource()==xxxx)
{
printMessage(); //declaring a method in the same class.
}
}
........
}

public class anotherclass extends myclass
{
myclass mc;
int j;
..............
mc.setName("James"); //calls method with the instance of the class
j=myclass.i; //here coz i belongs to class.
}

Hope, it clears out what I'm trying to do. Just example, not very good in java either...
So, what I'm trying to do is declare similar method as printMessage() in ruby. thanks

A mantra for you.. Ruby is not Java repeat 100 times until you believe it. Then start learning Ruby all over again with a beginner's mind. Java is compiled, Ruby interpreted. Ruby knows nothing of your display method until it sees it.. see my previous post.
