inherited new new superclass

Classes in Ruby are first-class objects---each is an instance of class Class.

When a new class is created (typically using class Name ... end), an object of type Class is created and assigned to a global constant (Name in this case). When Name.new is called to create a new object, the new method in Class is run by default. This can be demonstrated by overriding new in Class: 

class Class
   alias oldNew  new
   def new(*args)
     print "Creating a new ", self.name, "\n"
     oldNew(*args)
   end
 end


 class Name
 end


 n = Name.new
produces: 
Creating a new Name

klassemetoder
inherited aClass.inherited( aSubClass )

This is a singleton method (per class) invoked by Ruby when a subclass of aClass is created. The new subclass is passed as a parameter. 

class Top
  def Top.inherited(sub)
    print "New subclass: ", sub, "\n"
  end
end


class Middle < Top
end


class Bottom < Middle
end
produces: 
New subclass: Middle
New subclass: Bottom

new Class.new( aSuperClass=Object ) -> aClass

Creates a new anonymous (unnamed) class with the given superclass (or Object if no parameter is given).

instansmetoder
new aClass.new( [ args ]* ) -> anObject

Creates a new object of aClass's class, then invokes that object's initialize method, passing it args.

superclass aClass.superclass -> aSuperClass or nil

Returns the superclass of aClass, or nil.
