How to use an overridden constant in an inheritanced class

Question

given this code:

class A   CONST = 'A'    def initialize     puts CONST   end end  class B < A   CONST = 'B' end  A.new # => 'A' B.new # => 'A' 

I'd like B to use the CONST = 'B' definition, but I don't know how. Any ideas?

Greetings

Tom

class A   CONST = 'A'    def initialize     puts self.class::CONST   end end  class B < A   CONST = 'B' end  A.new # => 'A' B.new # => 'B'
