Hi
Attributes are as accessor methods for private field. You
can use it for setting and getting value.

You're perhaps thinking of accessor methods. The following code:

class Foo
attr_accessor :bar
end

does effectively the same as this:

class Foo
def bar
@bar
end
def bar=(val)
@bar = val
end
end

For learning about the basics of Ruby, I strongly recommend the book
Programming Ruby. The first edition is available to view online for
free:
http://www.ruby-doc.org/docs/ProgrammingRuby/

Since you're already a programmer you should find this very accessible.

HTH,

Brian.
