sorry if it’s been discussed as i don’t know what the search keyword
for this scenario. it actually came up from mistype (notice the
comma).
m:~ arie$ irb
h = {}
=> {}h[:a] = 1,
?> h[:b] = 2
=> [1, 2]h
=> {:a=>[1, 2], :b=>2}

This is expected behavior. You’ve assigned a two-element list to h[:a]
- the number 1
- an assignment expression yielding the number 2
Since assignment expressions return their rval, everything’s happy and
legal.
This one-line version behaves identically to what you’ve typed:
h[:a] = [1, h[:b] = 2]

Feature, I think. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to do things like…
a, b = b, a
The comma, it seems, assumes precedence from the right side.
