Hi
A very important principle in Ruby is that every thing is object.
I read somewhere that there is no primitive operation in Ruby in
traditional form and every operation is class.
Now if every thing is object , then why   + , - , * , ^ , ^^   isn't
class Although they are primitive operation ?

ps : If you test these codes , error happen : +.class  -.class   *.class
