Dynamic constant assignment

Question

class MyClass
  def mymethod
    MYCONSTANT = \"blah\"
  end
end

gives me the error:

SyntaxError: dynamic constant assignmen

Answer 1

You can't name a variable with capital letters or Ruby will asume its a constant and will want it to keep it's value constant, in which case changing it's value would be an error an "dynamic constant assignment error". With lower case should be fine

class MyClass
  def mymethod
    myconstant = "blah"
  end
end
