How do write two methods with different number of arguments in Ruby -

i trying write inside class:

class << self     def steps       @steps.call     end      def transitions       @transitions.call     end      def steps(&steps)       @steps = steps     end      def transitions(&transitions)       @transitions = transitions     end   end 

that won't work since in ruby, can't kind of method overloading. there way around this?

you can kind of method aliasing , mixins, way handle methods different signatures in ruby optional arguments:

def steps(&block)   block.present? ? @steps = block : @steps.call  end 

this sort of delegation code smell, though. means there's awkward interface you've designed. in case, better:

def steps   @steps.call end  def steps=(&block)   @steps = block end 

this makes clear other objects in system how use interface since follows convention. allows other cases, passing block steps method other use:

def steps(&block)   @steps.call(&block) end
