Re: How to find out object type

Ruby

But that then would assume I know what the object might be. I mean, do
I really test for all primitive object types? Someone else sent the
.class which will give a “hint” as to the class the object was
created with. This seems to fit what I was looking for.

Many thanks to all!

umm, perhaps I am doing something wrong:

methods may have punctuation in ruby. kind_of?( OBJECT ) uses a
question
mark.

It makes it into a question. Effectively what happens as I understand
it is
you ask the object what kind of object are you?

eg

o.kind_of?( Fixnum )
