Re: Defining a function inside a function. Whats this feature ? How to use inside a class ?

@Andrew
Hi,

No, I was not actually saying that... In the class I meant this...
class Person
  def man
    def author
       p "I am author"
    end
  end
end

and if I call Person.new.man.author, it gives NoMethodError.

Hello Matz,

So, is it not the expected behavior of the "class" and we should not use it
or its a bug that its allowing the def inside a def(specifically only in
main object) and will be fixed in the future release. Although I haven't
read anywhere about Namespaced functions like classes and modules but I was
just curious as it was an unexpected behavior to me.

Thanks!
