Why am i able to access the object for the Monster class without passing the 'self' arg?

So in the later part of the tutorial, Jason says we can pass arguments into a block using 'self' to pass in the object itself.

i am still able to access the object without passing the 'self' keyword as an argument.

here is the method: (i have commented out the args passing section)

def scare(&block) actions[:scare] += 1 puts "#{name} scares ..." block.call #self if block_given? # self is passing the class instance to the block end

Now instantiating and calling the various methods work. See below:

m = Monster.new("Gorgon") m.say do #this is the block we are passing in to puts "hello come to the hell" end

m.scream { 5.times do print "huhahahaha!!!!" m.actions[:scream] += 1 end }

m.scare do #|instance| puts "run away!!!!" #puts instance.actions m.say { puts "Hi from scare method call" } #CAN still ACCESS methods end
