Yeah, I know.  I just don't get what makes it better to say, for example, 'g.say()' instead of 'say()'.  But yeah, I guess so.

Who builds classes just for a say()? Your example of classes is like this example of functions - "who needs funcprint(this) instead of cout  < this?

Yes, I know, I know.  I was just using that as an example, from a classic Ruby Hello World program (

class Greeter
def initialize( name )
@name = name.capitalize
end
def say
puts "Hello #{@name}!"
end
end
g = Greeter.new( "world" )
g.say

in case you were wondering).

It's not a hello world for nothing isn't it. Simple examples are what make it.

Back on topic... anyone?

Okay, I'm starting to think that someone closed the topic or something.

Well then, what's the difference between

class Class:

and

class Class(object):

?  I can't figure out what functions are in the object class.

If someone closed it, you would not be able to post on it.

I know.  I was testing it.

It says "Topic closed" at the top... If it was...

in 3, it's the same. Class inherits automatically from object if no superclass is present.
use dir(object) to get list of functions in it

but dir(object) doesn't tell me what they do.

nothing, actually 

Check my capitalization in the original post.  Then tell me if you can figure out the riddle.
