Is it possible to change the class of a Ruby object?

Question

Is it possible to change the class of a Ruby object once it has been instantiated, something like:

class A
end

class B
end

a = A.new
a.class = B
         


        

Answer 1

simple answer, no:

NoMethodError: undefined method `class=' for #

however you can delete methods and mix in modules and such so as to leave an object that looks totally different...
