Given a Symbol
:
s = :something
The simplest way to convert it to a String
is by using the Symbol#to_s
method:
s.to_s
# => "something"
Another way to do it is by using the Symbol#id2name
method which is an alias for the Symbol#to_s
method. But it's a method that is unique to the Symbol
class:
s.id2name
# => "something"
