Class Variables

Synopsis

@@foo

Class variables begin with @@ and must be initialized before they can be used in method definitions. Referencing an uninitialized class variable produces an error. Class variables are shared among descendants of the class or module in which the class variables are defined. Overriding class variables produce warnings with the -w option.
