[edit] Ruby Classes
From what you've learned so far, you've probably come to realize that in Ruby everything is an object.All objects belong to a certain "type", a class in fact.
For example, let's take a number, any number, like 534 for example.This belongs to the class called Fixnum.How do you verify this?

puts 534.class

end

return @message
end
end
display = Displaying.new("this is a test message")
puts display.showmessage
Here is the result:
