- (Boolean) ==(other) - (Boolean) equal?(other) - (Boolean) eql?(other)
Equality---At the Object level, == returns
true only if obj and other are the same
object. Typically, this method is overridden in descendant classes to
provide class-specific meaning.
Unlike ==, the equal? method should never be
overridden by subclasses: it is used to determine object identity (that is,
a.equal?(b) iff a is the same object as
b).
The eql? method returns true if obj and
anObject have the same value. Used by Hash to test
members for equality. For objects of class Object,
eql? is synonymous with ==. Subclasses normally
continue this tradition, but there are exceptions. Numeric
types, for example, perform type conversion across ==, but not
across eql?, so:
1 == 1.0 #=> true 1.eql? 1.0 #=> false

Defines an instance method in the receiver. The method parameter

the method body. This block is evaluated using instance_eval,
a point that is tricky to demonstrate because define_method is
private. (This is why we resort to the send hack in this
example.)
