Static Variables and Methods

[Retlaf]

I was wondering, yesterday evening, how to declare/use static variables and methods in ruby.

I posted my question here, but not moments later found the answers within a wiki article. Here are my findings.

Declaration of static variables (called "Class Variables" in Ruby):

@@variable_name

And an example of declaration and use of a static method (again, called "Class Methods" in Ruby):

class [I]MyClass[/I]
   def [B]self[/B].some_method
     # Do stuff
   end
 end

 [I]MyClass[/I].some_method
