Hi!

You have a class. Next, Test.new - it's a instantiation, you create the real
object in memory from you class.
You need to store that instance in variable to work with it, f.e

class Test
def test
put "Hello"
end
end

v=Test.new // I create instance and store it in variable
v.test // call method test

To work with real object you need have link for it. This link is a variable
"v"

you means that in second time that I make an object I named a memory
location to "variable"?

No, you store memory location in link variable.

When you create a instance of object you need to store link to it.
