As for the object, it is clever let me give you some advice though. Firstly, you don't ever want to store a date or time as a string. This is always a mistake. -- though for learning purposes it works out, as in your example. In real life, simply not so. Lastly, you created a class called Tuesdays without specifying what would make it different from a class called Wednesday; that is to say the purpose is nebulous: there is nothing special about Tuesdays to a computer. If you have to use comments to differentiate Tuesdays from Wednesdays you typically fail.
class Event def initialize( place, time=Time.new ) @place = place case time.class.to_s when "Array" @time = Time.gm( *time ) when "Time" @time = time else throw "invalid time type" end end attr_accessor :time, :place end ## Event at 5:00PM 2-2-2009 CST funStart = Event.new( "evan-hodgson day", [0,0,17,2,2,2009,2,nil,false,"CST"] ) ## Event now, (see time=Time.new -- the default in constructor) rightNow = Event.new( "NOW!" ); ## You can compaire Event#time to any Time object!! if Time.new > funStart.time puts "We're there" else puts "Not yet" end ## Because the constructor takes two forms of time, you can do ## Event.new( "Right now", Time.gm(stuff here) )
