Ruby question

Pardon my noobiness, but I'm learning both Ruby and Ror at the same time and am trying to understand Ruby a bit here.

Say I have:

Irb tells all. They are the same object. Your call test over writes the @venue for instance x and returns the @date value.

irb(main):009:0> x=Ticket.new => #Ticket:0xb7c8aab0 irb(main):010:0> x.venue=“aa” => “aa” irb(main):011:0> puts x.venue aa => nil irb(main):012:0> x.Test => “03/31/2007” irb(main):013:0> puts x.venue Some Venus => nil irb(main):014:0> x => #<Ticket:0xb7c8aab0 @venue=“Some Venus”, @date=“03/31/2007”>
