Why is this case when not working properly?

Question

  if ( item::class == RPG::Weapon )
    print \"yup\"
  end
  case item::class
  when RPG::Item
    type = 0
  when RPG::Weapon
    type = 1
  when RPG::Armor
    type =         


        

Answer 1

Just case item will be sufficient - no need for case item::class.

Case matching in Ruby is done with a fuzzy matching (===) algorithm that doesn't need such specific clauses.
