is_object

  • Interrogating to check if a variable is an object in Ruby is pointless since everything is an object in Ruby. We can check if something is an object using Object#is_a?(Object), but this will always return true in Ruby.

    PHP

    $car = new stdClass;
$result = is_object($car);
var_export($result);
// => true

    Ruby

    true.is_a?(Object)    # => true
'hello'.is_a?(Object) # => true
1.234.is_a?(Object)   # => true
