Different obj_id but equal values in ruby? - ruby

Question

I'm fairly new to ruby and am practicing it.
However in this exercise I'm doing it creates two bank accounts using the same method and same values, and the program expects both to be equal.
RSpec returns this to me:
Failure/Error: expect(conta1).to eql conta2
expected: #<Conta:0x3161bc8 #numero="2303-2", #nome="Jose da Silva", #saldo=1000.1, #limite=500>
got: #<Conta:0x31615f8 #numero="2303-2", #nome="Jose da Silva", #saldo=1000.1, #limite=500>
(compared using eql?)
Diff:
## -1,4 +1,4 ##
-#<Conta:0x3161bc8
+#<Conta:0x31615f8
#limite=500,
#nome="Jose da Silva",
#numero="2303-2",
The content of both the accounts are the same, but there's a conflict on the object_id, how do I resolve this?
Here is the code:
it "Two accounts with the same data should be equal" do
conta1 = cria_conta
conta2 = cria_conta
expect(conta1).to eql conta2
end
def cria_conta(numero="2303-2", nome="Jose da Silva", saldo=1000.10, limite=500)
Conta.new(numero: numero, nome: nome, saldo: saldo, limite: limite)
end
Also:
class Conta
attr_accessor :numero, :nome, :saldo, :limite
def initialize(arr)
#numero = arr[:numero]
#nome = arr[:nome]
#saldo = arr[:saldo]
#limite = arr[:limite]
end
def sacar(valor)
possibilidade = false
##valor = valor
if valor < #saldo
#saldo -= valor
possibilidade = true
elsif valor > #limite
#saldo -= valor
##saldo = #saldo
possibilidade
end
end
def no_limite?()
if ##valor > #limite
return true
elsif ##valor < #limite
return false
end
end
def depositar(valor)
#saldo += valor
end
def ==(outra_conta)
self.conta == outra_conta
end
end
I tried to define a a diffrent method for == but I was unsuccessful.

If you wants to only compare the attributes, not the object itself, here is the example code you might start with.
class Person
attr_accessor :name, :id
def initialize(id, name)
#id = id
#name = name
end
def ==(other_person)
self.instance_variables.each do |method|
method = method.to_s.gsub('#', '')
return false if self.send(method) != other_person.send(method)
end
return true
end
end
p1 = Person.new(1, 'alice')
p2 = Person.new(1, 'alice')
p3 = Person.new(1, 'tim')
puts p1 == p2 # true
puts p1 == p3 # false
