Sorts self in place.
Comparisons for the sort will be done using the <=> operator or using an optional code block.
The block must implement a comparison between a and b and return an integer less than 0 when b follows a, 0 when a and b are equivalent, or an integer greater than 0 when a follows b.
See also Enumerable#sort_by.
a = [ "d", "a", "e", "c", "b" ] a.sort! #=> ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e"] a.sort! { |x,y| y <=> x } #=> ["e", "d", "c", "b", "a"]
Returns a new array containing the items in self for which the given block is not true. The ordering of non-rejected elements is maintained.
See also Array#delete_if
If no block is given, an Enumerator is returned instead.
Deletes every element of self for which the block evaluates to true, if no changes were made returns nil.
The array may not be changed instantly every time the block is called.
See also Enumerable#reject and Array#delete_if.
If no block is given, an Enumerator is returned instead.
Replaces the contents of self with the contents of other_ary, truncating or expanding if necessary.
a = [ "a", "b", "c", "d", "e" ] a.replace([ "x", "y", "z" ]) #=> ["x", "y", "z"] a #=> ["x", "y", "z"]
Creates a string representation of self.
[ "a", "b", "c" ].to_s #=> "[\"a\", \"b\", \"c\"]"
Calculates the set of unambiguous abbreviations for the strings in self.
require 'abbrev' %w{ car cone }.abbrev #=> {"car"=>"car", "ca"=>"car", "cone"=>"cone", "con"=>"cone", "co"=>"cone"}
The optional pattern parameter is a pattern or a string. Only input strings that match the pattern or start with the string are included in the output hash.
%w{ fast boat day }.abbrev(/^.a/) #=> {"fast"=>"fast", "fas"=>"fast", "fa"=>"fast", "day"=>"day", "da"=>"day"} Abbrev.abbrev(%w{car box cone}, "ca") #=> {"car"=>"car", "ca"=>"car"}

Returns a string containing the representation of big radix base (2 through 36).
12345654321.to_s #=> "12345654321" 12345654321.to_s(2) #=> "1011011111110110111011110000110001" 12345654321.to_s(8) #=> "133766736061" 12345654321.to_s(16) #=> "2dfdbbc31" 78546939656932.to_s(36) #=> "rubyrules"
Returns the remainder after dividing big by numeric.
-1234567890987654321.remainder(13731) #=> -6966 -1234567890987654321.remainder(13731.24) #=> -9906.22531493148
Converts big to a Float. If big doesn’t fit in a Float, the result is infinity.
Returns a complex object which denotes the given rectangular form.
Complex.rectangular(1, 2) #=> (1+2i)
Returns a complex object which denotes the given rectangular form.
Complex.rectangular(1, 2) #=> (1+2i)
Returns a complex object which denotes the given rectangular form.
Complex.rectangular(1, 2) #=> (1+2i)
Returns false.
Returns the value as a string.
Complex(2).to_s #=> "2+0i" Complex('-8/6').to_s #=> "-4/3+0i" Complex('1/2i').to_s #=> "0+1/2i" Complex(0, Float::INFINITY).to_s #=> "0+Infinity*i" Complex(Float::NAN, Float::NAN).to_s #=> "NaN+NaN*i"
Returns the value as an integer if possible (the imaginary part should be exactly zero).
Complex(1, 0).to_i #=> 1 Complex(1, 0.0).to_i # RangeError Complex(1, 2).to_i # RangeError
Returns the value as a float if possible (the imaginary part should be exactly zero).
Complex(1, 0).to_f #=> 1.0 Complex(1, 0.0).to_f # RangeError Complex(1, 2).to_f # RangeError
Returns the value as a rational if possible (the imaginary part should be exactly zero).
Complex(1, 0).to_r #=> (1/1) Complex(1, 0.0).to_r # RangeError Complex(1, 2).to_r # RangeError
See rationalize.
Returns zero as a complex.
Always returns the empty string.
