Methods

impl Symbol

fn new(string: &str) -> Self

Creates a new instance of Ruby Symbol.

Examples

use ruru::{Symbol, VM};

assert_eq!(symbol.to_string(), "hello");

Ruby:

sym = :hello

sym.to_s == 'hello'

fn to_string(&self) -> String

Retrieves the Rust String corresponding to Symbol object (Ruby Symbol#to_s).

Examples

use ruru::{Symbol, VM};

let symbol = Symbol::new("hello");

assert_eq!(symbol.to_string(), "hello");

Ruby:

sym = :hello

sym.to_s == 'hello'

Trait Implementations
