Ruby tutorial session 3

Class Inheritance

require 'person_class'  
  
class Programmer < Person  
  def initialize(name, favorite_ide)  
    super(name)  
    @favorite_ide = favorite_ide  
  end  
  
  # We are overriding say_hi in Person  
  def say_hi  
    super  
    puts "Favorite IDE is #{@favorite_ide}"  
  end  
end  
  
peter = Programmer.new("Peter", "TextMate")  
peter.say_hi

In the above mentioned class we are creating a class called Programmer and inheriting the Person class which is created in previous post.

In the Programmer class we are overriding the "say_hi" definition which is all ready defined in the Person class.

Practice this code and give me the output result as comment.
In next you are going to setter and getter methods in ruby.
