What is the most efficient way to initialize a Class in Ruby with different parameters and default values?

Question

I would like to have a class and some attributes which you can either set during initialization or use its default value.

class Fruit
  attr_accessor :color,         


        

Answer 1

Even more tasty syntactic sugar:

class Fruit
  attr_accessor :color, :type
  def initialize *args
    @color, @type = args 
  end
end

pear = Fruit.new 'green', :pear
