They are generated using the <tt>:name</tt> and <tt>:"string"</tt> literals syntax, and by the various <tt>to_sym</tt> methods. The same <tt>Symbol</tt> object will be created for a given name or string for the duration of a program's execution, regardless of the context or meaning of that name. Thus if <tt>Fred</tt> is a constant in one context, a method in another, and a class in a third, the <tt>Symbol</tt> <tt>:Fred</tt> will be the same object in all three contexts. - !ruby/struct:SM::Flow::VERB body: " module One\n class Fred\n end\n $f1 = :Fred\n end\n module Two\n Fred = 1\n $f2 = :Fred\n end\n def Fred()\n end\n $f3 = :Fred\n $f1.id #=> 2514190\n $f2.id #=> 2514190\n $f3.id #=> 2514190\n" constants: [] full_name: Symbol includes: [] instance_methods: - !ruby/object:RI::MethodSummary name: === - !ruby/object:RI::MethodSummary name: dclone - !ruby/object:RI::MethodSummary name: id2name - !ruby/object:RI::MethodSummary name: inspect - !ruby/object:RI::MethodSummary name: to_i - !ruby/object:RI::MethodSummary name: to_int - !ruby/object:RI::MethodSummary name: to_proc - !ruby/object:RI::MethodSummary name: to_s - !ruby/object:RI::MethodSummary name: to_sym - !ruby/object:RI::MethodSummary name: to_yaml name: Symbol superclass: Object
