Method: Object#send

Defined in:
vm_eval.c

#send(symbol[, args...]) ⇒ Object #__send__(symbol[, args...]) ⇒ Object #send(string[, args...]) ⇒ Object #__send__(string[, args...]) ⇒ Object

Invokes the method identified by symbol, passing it any

arguments specified. You can use <code>__send__</code> if the name
+send+ clashes with an existing method in _obj_.
When the method is identified by a string, the string is converted
to a symbol.

BasicObject implements +__send__+, Kernel implements +send+.
