ruby send和ruby public_send方法有什么不同？

Question

我非常想知道send和public_send之间的区别。例如：

class Klass
  def hello(*args)
    "Hello " + args.join(' ')
  end
end

k = Klass.new
k.send :hello, "gentle", "readers" #=> "Hello gentle readers"
k.public_send :hello, "gentle", "readers" #=> "Hello gentle readers"

有人能解释一下其中的区别吗？

与

不同，public_send只调用公共方法。

示例：

class Klass
  private
  def private_method
    puts "Hello"
  end
end

k = Klass.new
k.send(:private_method)
=> "Hello"
k.public_send(:private_method)
=> `public_send': private method `private_method' called for 
    #<Klass:0x007f5fd7159a80> (NoMethodError)
