在类的实例上动态调用方法（用户动态指定实例名称）

Question

我有一个名为Family Members的类（在family_members.rb文件中），其中包含诸如name ， sex ， type ， role和age属性。

我创建的实例，称为fm1 ， fm2 fm3 fm4和fm5 。

#family_members.rb

require_relative 'family'
require_relative 'checkdetails'

class FamilyMembers < Family

  attr_accessor :name, :sex, :status, :age
  def initialize (name, sex, type, role, age)
    @name = name
    @sex = sex
    @type = type
    @role = role
    @age = age
  end

end

fm1 = FamilyMembers.new('Andrew','Male', 'Child', "Son" , "27" )
fm2 = FamilyMembers.new("Bill","Male", "Parent", "Father" , "63" )
fm3 = FamilyMembers.new("Samantha","Female", "Parent", "Mother" , "62" )
fm4 = FamilyMembers.new("Thomas","Male", "Child", "Dog" , "10" )
fm5 = FamilyMembers.new("Samantha", 'Female', "Child", "Dog" , "4" )

我有一个称为Parent?的方法Parent? 检查类的实例是Parent还是Child ，并按如下所示调用它：

#check_details   //would like to use this method

fm4.parent?

用户是否可以动态选择要检查的类的实例？

我在checkdetails.rb文件中创建了一个名为check_details的方法：

#checkdetails.rb

def check_details
  puts "What family to you want to check? choose 1 to 5"
  $family = 'fm' + gets.chomp
end

但是，如果我尝试像这样调用parent方法：

check_details

$family.parent?

它给了我以下错误：

`<top (required)>': undefined method `parent?' for "fm1":String (NoMethodError)
    from -e:1:in `load'
    from -e:1:in `<main>'

有没有办法动态地做到这一点？ 可能没有全局变量-因为这被认为是不好的做法？

谢谢你的帮助。

将您的FamilyMembers存储在数组或哈希中，然后按键查找它们。

fm = {}
fm[1] FamilyMembers.new('Andrew','Male', 'Child', "Son" , "27" )
fm[2] = FamilyMembers.new("Bill","Male", "Parent", "Father" , "63" )
fm[3] = FamilyMembers.new("Samantha","Female", "Parent", "Mother" , "62" )
fm[4] = FamilyMembers.new("Thomas","Male", "Child", "Dog" , "10" )
fm[5] = FamilyMembers.new("Samantha", 'Female', "Child", "Dog" , "4" )

answer = "3" # get this from the user.
num = answer.to_i

if fm.key?(num)
  fm[num].parent?
else 
  raise 'Invalid answer'
end

PS Ruby准则建议“ FamilyMembers”类应称为“ FamilyMember”。
