Returns the value of the given instance variable, or nil if the instance variable is not set. The @
part of the variable name should be included for regular instance variables. Throws a NameError
exception if the supplied symbol is not valid as an instance variable name. String
arguments are converted to symbols.
class Fred def initialize(p1, p2) @a, @b = p1, p2 end end fred = Fred.new('cat', 99) fred.instance_variable_get(:@a) #=> "cat" fred.instance_variable_get("@b") #=> 99
Sets the instance variable named by symbol to the given object. This may circumvent the encapsulation intended by the author of the class, so it should be used with care. The variable does not have to exist prior to this call. If the instance variable name is passed as a string, that string is converted to a symbol.
class Fred def initialize(p1, p2) @a, @b = p1, p2 end end fred = Fred.new('cat', 99) fred.instance_variable_set(:@a, 'dog') #=> "dog" fred.instance_variable_set(:@c, 'cat') #=> "cat" fred.inspect #=> "#<Fred:0x401b3da8 @a=\"dog\", @b=99, @c=\"cat\">"
Returns true
if the given instance variable is defined in obj. String
arguments are converted to symbols.
class Fred def initialize(p1, p2) @a, @b = p1, p2 end end fred = Fred.new('cat', 99) fred.instance_variable_defined?(:@a) #=> true fred.instance_variable_defined?("@b") #=> true fred.instance_variable_defined?("@c") #=> false
Removes the named instance variable from obj, returning that variable’s value. String
arguments are converted to symbols.
class Dummy attr_reader :var def initialize @var = 99 end def remove remove_instance_variable(:@var) end end d = Dummy.new d.var #=> 99 d.remove #=> 99 d.var #=> nil
