Numeric is the class from which all higher-level numeric classes should inherit.
Numeric allows instantiation of heap-allocated objects. Other core numeric classes such as Integer are implemented as immediates, which means that each Integer is a single immutable object which is always passed by value.
a = 1 puts 1.object_id == a.object_id #=> true
There can only ever be one instance of the integer 1, for example. Ruby ensures this by preventing instantiation. If duplication is attempted, the same instance is returned.
Integer.new(1) #=> NoMethodError: undefined method `new' for Integer:Class 1.dup #=> 1 1.object_id == 1.dup.object_id #=> true
For this reason, Numeric should be used when defining other numeric classes.
Classes which inherit from Numeric must implement coerce, which returns a two-member Array containing an object that has been coerced into an instance of the new class and self (see coerce).
Inheriting classes should also implement arithmetic operator methods (+, -, * and /) and the <=> operator (see Comparable). These methods may rely on coerce to ensure interoperability with instances of other numeric classes.
class Tally < Numeric def initialize(string) @string = string end def to_s @string end def to_i @string.size end def coerce(other) [self.class.new('|' * other.to_i), self] end def <=>(other) to_i <=> other.to_i end def +(other) self.class.new('|' * (to_i + other.to_i)) end def -(other) self.class.new('|' * (to_i - other.to_i)) end def *(other) self.class.new('|' * (to_i * other.to_i)) end def /(other) self.class.new('|' * (to_i / other.to_i)) end end tally = Tally.new('||') puts tally * 2 #=> "||||" puts tally > 1 #=> true

if (negative_int_p(num)) {
return num_funcall0(num, idUMinus);
}
return num;
}
Returns the absolute value of num.
12.abs #=> 12 (-34.56).abs #=> 34.56 -34.56.abs #=> 34.56

static VALUE
num_ceil(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE num)
{
return flo_ceil(argc, argv, rb_Float(num));

Returns the smallest possible Integer that is greater than or equal to num.
Numeric achieves this by converting itself to a Float then invoking Float#ceil.

return rb_assoc_new(y, x);
}
If a numeric is the same type as num, returns an array containing numeric and num. Otherwise, returns an array with both a numeric and num represented as Float objects.
This coercion mechanism is used by Ruby to handle mixed-type numeric operations: it is intended to find a compatible common type between the two operands of the operator.
1.coerce(2.5) #=> [2.5, 1.0] 1.2.coerce(3) #=> [3.0, 1.2] 1.coerce(2) #=> [2, 1]

return from;
}
Invokes the given block with the sequence of numbers starting at num, incremented by step (defaulted to 1) on each call.
The loop finishes when the value to be passed to the block is greater than limit (if step is positive) or less than limit (if step is negative), where limit is defaulted to infinity.
In the recommended keyword argument style, either or both of step and limit (default infinity) can be omitted. In the fixed position argument style, zero as a step (i.e. num.step(limit, 0)) is not allowed for historical compatibility reasons.
If all the arguments are integers, the loop operates using an integer counter.
If any of the arguments are floating point numbers, all are converted to floats, and the loop is executed the following expression:
floor(n + n*epsilon)+ 1
Where the n is the following:
n = (limit - num)/step
Otherwise, the loop starts at num, uses either the less-than (<) or greater-than (>) operator to compare the counter against limit, and increments itself using the + operator.
If no block is given, an Enumerator is returned instead.
For example:
p 1.step.take(4) p 10.step(by: -1).take(4) 3.step(to: 5) { |i| print i, " " } 1.step(10, 2) { |i| print i, " " } Math::E.step(to: Math::PI, by: 0.2) { |f| print f, " " }
Will produce:
[1, 2, 3, 4] [10, 9, 8, 7] 3 4 5 1 3 5 7 9 2.71828182845905 2.91828182845905 3.11828182845905
