Different ways to invoke a method in Ruby

class Person
    def my_name
        “Diana"
    end
end

diana = Person.new

1

2

3

4

5

6

7

class Person

def my_name

“Diana"

end

end

diana = Person.new

(Single run time) Using dot notation and calling the method on the object:

diana.my_name

1

diana.my_name
(Persist name of method to database) Using send method:

diana.send(:my_name)

1

diana.send(:my_name)
Get the method and call it like a Proc:

diana.method(:my_name).call

1

diana.method(:my_name).call
Not good practice but useful sometimes. (Self-modifying method code):

eval “diana.my_name"

1

eval “diana.my_name"
