manipulating data question

[Kingdom Ablaze]

say you had:
[rgss]class someclass < anotherclass
  attr_reader :data
  def initialize(data)
   super()
    @data = data
  end
end
[/rgss]
what would be the proper way to change the value of data?

Within the class, you use:

@data = 'new_value'

Outside of the class, you can't right now modify the variable, as it's only readable, not writeable. To write it, either choose attr_writer (write-only) or attr_accessor (read/write). If you do that, you change it like this:

character = Someclass.new('your_value')

p character.data #=> 'your_value'

character.data = 'new_value'

p character.data #=> 'new_value'
