Creating a Class

3:56 with Jason Seifer

In this video, we create a simple class. The class will be modeled after the concept of a name and return the different attributes a name might have.

Code Samples

class Name
  def title
    "Mr."
  end

  def first_name
    "Jason"
  end

  def middle_name
    ""
  end

  def last_name
    "Seifer"
  end
end

name = Name.new
puts name.title
puts name.first_name
puts name.middle_name
puts name.last_name

    the following items, title, first name, middle name, and last name. 0:15
    We create a class using the class keyword, and 0:22
    then the name of the class that we wanna create. 0:25
    Let's see how that works now using Work Spaces. 0:28
