Shouldn't it be self >> class, or am I dyslexic?

The semantics of

class X

…

class << self
def instance_method_for_class_object_named_X
…
end
end

end

is that an instance method is added (appended) to the current object X
== self by
the class definition that encloses the new method. Because we are
appending a new method to self, the arrows should point towards “self”
not “class.”

Oops,

Subject should read “… class >> self …”

(Ok, maybe I am dyslexic – but I’m still right – just takes me a
couple
of tries to get the sequencing right.) :slight_smile:
