Operator Names.

What is this '=>' operator called?

Does it have a name?

know if it has a true name. (Try it next time you're reading code with a hash.)

I believe it's called a "hashrocket." At least that's what the guys and gals at http://www.hashrocket.com/ would have me believe.

I read it as “points to”

Thanks everyone. I think I am going to go with hashrocket... :slight_smile: I just like that...

One of my Ruby books describes it as "the sequence of characters" in the context of a Hash explanation.
