Ciao ragazzi ho un domanda che non riesco a levarmi dalla testa…ma in  
ruby esistono gli alias o cose simili??Perche mi ricordo che in altri  
linguaggi esistono delle cose simili,e che erano molto utili.

Giusto per vedere se ho [capito.Io](http://capito.Io) ho due variabili,var1 e var2 nelle  
quali vi è memorizzato un qualcosa,per fare un alias basta che faccia:

alias var1 var2

dove l’alias è applicato alla var2,giusto?O ho capito male??

l’alias è su un metodo o variabili globali (sconsigliato)

quindi in modo molto brutale:

def name  
“ruby”  
end

alias nome name
