Comments on: Fun With Ruby, Hash and ||= http://www.postal-code.com/binarycode/2008/03/25/fun-with-ruby-hash-and/ A whole bunch of nought thought by Chris Cummer Sat, 06 Jun 2009 22:54:39 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: David Black http://www.postal-code.com/binarycode/2008/03/25/fun-with-ruby-hash-and/comment-page-1/#comment-2825 David Black Wed, 26 Mar 2008 12:58:26 +0000 http://www.postal-code.com/binarycode/2008/03/25/fun-with-ruby-hash-and/#comment-2825 Hi -- I'm glad you liked the article. A flaw, as I now think, was pointed out to me; namely, that the expansion of x ||= 1 is really x || x = 1, not x or x = 1. I don't want to be guilty of spreading wrong precedence info, so I thought I'd mention it here too :-) (I've added a comment to this effect on my blog.) David Hi –
