Class: FalseClass
Overview
The global value false is the only instance of class FalseClass and represents a logically false value in boolean expressions. The class provides operators allowing false to participate correctly in logical expressions.

#&(obj2) ⇒ Object
And—Returns
false. -
#===(other) ⇒ Boolean
Case Equality – For class Object, effectively the same as calling
#==, but typically overridden by descendants to provide meaningful semantics incasestatements. -
#^(obj2) ⇒ Object
Exclusive Or—If obj is
nilorfalse, returnsfalse; otherwise, returnstrue. -
#to_s ⇒ Object
(also: #inspect)

Instance Method Details
#&(obj) ⇒ false #&(obj) ⇒ false
And—Returns false. obj is always evaluated as it is the argument to a method call—there is no short-circuit evaluation in this case.
