Get name of subclass

Question

Lets say I have I class called

a = Person::User::Base

How can I get only the last subclass called Base.

The way i know how to do this is:

a.to_s.split('::').last => "Base"

Is there a better way?

If you use Rails (ActiveSupport):

a.to_s.demodulize

If you use POR (plain-ol-Ruby), yes, it's your way:

a.to_s.split('::').last

When I used this command in Rails I got as Result "Base:0x007fd84b37b948>"

Sorry this happened because I already had initialized an Object! Thanks again
