What is the most efficient way to initialize a Class in Ruby with different parameters and default values?

Question

I would like to have a class and some attributes which you can either set during initialization or use its default value.

class Fruit
  attr_accessor :color,         


        

Answer 1

More simple way:

class Fruit
  attr_accessor :color, :type
  def initialize(color = 'green', type = 'pear')
    @color = color
    @type = type
  end
  def to_s
    "#{color} #{type}"
  end
end


puts Fruit.new # prints: green pear
puts Fruit.new('red','apple') # prints: red apple
puts Fruit.new(nil,'pomegranate') # prints: green pomegranate
