Instance Method Summary

• #method_missing(name, *args) ⇒ Object

  If the method being called is a singular (in this simple case, does not end with an ‘s’), then it calls the plural method, and calls the first element.

• #respond_to?(x, y = false) ⇒ Boolean

Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

#method_missing(name, *args) ⇒ Object

If the method being called is a singular (in this simple case, does not end with an ‘s’), then it calls the plural method, and calls the first element. We’re assuming that plural methods provide an array.

Example: Object contains an array called ‘alphas’, which looks like [:a, :b, :c]. Call object.alpha and :a is returned.
