get_class

  • To get the class name of an object in Ruby, we use the Object#class method. The class method in Ruby returns a constant which references the class object. To get a string representation of this class name, we must use to_s on the result.

    PHP

    class Car {}
$bmw = new Car;
$result = get_class($bmw);
var_export($result);
// => 'Car'

    Ruby

    class Car; end
bmw = Car.new
p bmw.class.to_s
# => "Car"
