call a protected static method on an instance of a class in ruby

In Ruby, you can call a protected static method on an instance of a class by using the send method.

Here's an example:

main.rb
class MyClass
  protected_class_method def self.my_protected_static_method
    puts "Hello from protected static method!"
  end
end

instance = MyClass.new
instance.send(:my_protected_static_method)

9 lines

In the example above, we define a class called MyClass and give it a protected static method called my_protected_static_method.

We then create an instance of the class and use the send method to call the protected static method on that instance.

Note that we need to pass the method name as a symbol to send, and we must also use the protected_class_method keyword to define the method as protected.
