Adds the contents of hash to the environment variables. If no block is specified entries with duplicate keys are overwritten, otherwise the value of each duplicate name is determined by calling the block with the key, its value from the environment and its value from the hash.
Returns the number of environment variables.
Returns true if there is an environment variable with the given name.
Returns a Hash containing implementation-dependent counters inside the VM.
This hash includes information about method/constant cache serials:
{
:global_method_state=>251,
:global_constant_state=>481,
:class_serial=>9029
}
The contents of the hash are implementation specific and may be changed in the future.
This method is only expected to work on C Ruby.
Parse an HTTP query string into a hash of key=>value pairs.
params = CGI::parse("query_string") # {"name1" => ["value1", "value2", ...], # "name2" => ["value1", "value2", ...], ... }
This method wraps a String you provide, or an empty default String, in a CSV object which is passed to the provided block. You can use the block to append CSV rows to the String and when the block exits, the final String will be returned.
Note that a passed String is modified by this method. Call dup() before passing if you need a new String.
The options parameter can be anything CSV::new() understands. This method understands an additional :encoding parameter when not passed a String to set the base Encoding for the output. CSV needs this hint if you plan to output non-ASCII compatible data.
This method can be used to easily parse CSV out of a String. You may either provide a block which will be called with each row of the String in turn, or just use the returned Array of Arrays (when no block is given).
You pass your str to read from, and an optional options Hash containing anything CSV::new() understands.
Returns true iff the current severity level allows for the printing of FATAL messages.
Creates a matrix where the diagonal elements are composed of values.
Matrix.diagonal(9, 5, -3)
=> 9 0 0
0 5 0
0 0 -3
Returns true if this is a diagonal matrix. Raises an error if matrix is not square.
Returns true if this is a permutation matrix Raises an error if matrix is not square.
Returns true if this is a symmetric matrix. Raises an error if matrix is not square.
Returns the determinant of the matrix.
Beware that using Float values can yield erroneous results because of their lack of precision. Consider using exact types like Rational or BigDecimal instead.
Matrix[[7,6], [3,9]].determinant => 45
deprecated; use Matrix#determinant
Returns the conjugate of the matrix.
Matrix[[Complex(1,2), Complex(0,1), 0], [1, 2, 3]]
=> 1+2i i 0
1 2 3
Matrix[[Complex(1,2), Complex(0,1), 0], [1, 2, 3]].conjugate
=> 1-2i -i 0
1 2 3
Returns the imaginary part of the matrix.
Matrix[[Complex(1,2), Complex(0,1), 0], [1, 2, 3]]
=> 1+2i i 0
1 2 3
Matrix[[Complex(1,2), Complex(0,1), 0], [1, 2, 3]].imaginary
=> 2i i 0
0 0 0
Creates a vector from an Array. The optional second argument specifies whether the array itself or a copy is used internally.
Initializes a new instance and evaluates the optional block in context of the instance. Arguments args are passed to new, see there for description of parameters.
This method is deprecated, its behavior corresponds to the older new method.
Parses command line arguments argv in order when environment variable POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, and in permutation mode otherwise.
