Singleton method vs. class method

Question

Are class method and singleton method doing the same or different? Here is an example.

class C
  def self.classmethod
    puts \"class method #{self}\"
  end
end         


        

Answer 1

There is no difference. There are no class methods in Ruby. "Class method" is just a name that we humans call a singleton method if the object happens to be an instance of the Class class.
