Parses command line arguments argv in order when environment variable POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, and in permutation mode otherwise.
Same as parse, but removes switches destructively. Non-option arguments remain in argv.
Searches key in @stack for id hash and returns or yields the result.
Increases left margin after newline with indent for line breaks added in the block.
Opens a new transaction for the data store. Code executed inside a block passed to this method may read and write data to and from the data store file.
At the end of the block, changes are committed to the data store automatically. You may exit the transaction early with a call to either PStore#commit or PStore#abort. See those methods for details about how changes are handled. Raising an uncaught Exception in the block is equivalent to calling PStore#abort.
If read_only is set to true, you will only be allowed to read from the data store during the transaction and any attempts to change the data will raise a PStore::Error.
Note that PStore does not support nested transactions.
provides a unified clone operation, for REXML::XPathParser to use across multiple Object types
Returns the Integer equal to int + 1.
1.next #=> 2 (-1).next #=> 0 1.succ #=> 2 (-1).succ #=> 0
Returns self.
Returns the value as a rational. The optional argument eps is always ignored.
Create the tasks defined by this task lib.
Removes all elements and returns self.
Deletes every element that appears in the given enumerable object and returns self.
Basically the same as ::new. However, if class Thread is subclassed, then calling start in that subclass will not invoke the subclass’s initialize method.
Raises an exception from the given thread. The caller does not have to be thr. See Kernel#raise for more information.
Thread.abort_on_exception = true a = Thread.new { sleep(200) } a.raise("Gotcha")
This will produce:
prog.rb:3: Gotcha (RuntimeError) from prog.rb:2:in `initialize' from prog.rb:2:in `new' from prog.rb:2
Returns the current backtrace of the target thread.
Returns the number of mandatory arguments. If the block is declared to take no arguments, returns 0. If the block is known to take exactly n arguments, returns n. If the block has optional arguments, returns -n-1, where n is the number of mandatory arguments, with the exception for blocks that are not lambdas and have only a finite number of optional arguments; in this latter case, returns n. Keywords arguments will considered as a single additional argument, that argument being mandatory if any keyword argument is mandatory. A proc with no argument declarations is the same as a block declaring || as its arguments.
proc {}.arity #=> 0 proc { || }.arity #=> 0 proc { |a| }.arity #=> 1 proc { |a, b| }.arity #=> 2 proc { |a, b, c| }.arity #=> 3 proc { |*a| }.arity #=> -1 proc { |a, *b| }.arity #=> -2 proc { |a, *b, c| }.arity #=> -3 proc { |x:, y:, z:0| }.arity #=> 1 proc { |*a, x:, y:0| }.arity #=> -2 proc { |x=0| }.arity #=> 0 lambda { |x=0| }.arity #=> -1 proc { |x=0, y| }.arity #=> 1 lambda { |x=0, y| }.arity #=> -2 proc { |x=0, y=0| }.arity #=> 0 lambda { |x=0, y=0| }.arity #=> -1 proc { |x, y=0| }.arity #=> 1 lambda { |x, y=0| }.arity #=> -2 proc { |(x, y), z=0| }.arity #=> 1 lambda { |(x, y), z=0| }.arity #=> -2 proc { |a, x:0, y:0| }.arity #=> 1 lambda { |a, x:0, y:0| }.arity #=> -2
Returns a curried proc. If the optional arity argument is given, it determines the number of arguments. A curried proc receives some arguments. If a sufficient number of arguments are supplied, it passes the supplied arguments to the original proc and returns the result. Otherwise, returns another curried proc that takes the rest of arguments.
b = proc {|x, y, z| (x||0) + (y||0) + (z||0) } p b.curry[1][2][3] #=> 6 p b.curry[1, 2][3, 4] #=> 6 p b.curry(5)[1][2][3][4][5] #=> 6 p b.curry(5)[1, 2][3, 4][5] #=> 6 p b.curry(1)[1] #=> 1 b = proc {|x, y, z, *w| (x||0) + (y||0) + (z||0) + w.inject(0, &:+) } p b.curry[1][2][3] #=> 6 p b.curry[1, 2][3, 4] #=> 10 p b.curry(5)[1][2][3][4][5] #=> 15 p b.curry(5)[1, 2][3, 4][5] #=> 15 p b.curry(1)[1] #=> 1 b = lambda {|x, y, z| (x||0) + (y||0) + (z||0) } p b.curry[1][2][3] #=> 6 p b.curry[1, 2][3, 4] #=> wrong number of arguments (given 4, expected 3) p b.curry(5) #=> wrong number of arguments (given 5, expected 3) p b.curry(1) #=> wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 3) b = lambda {|x, y, z, *w| (x||0) + (y||0) + (z||0) + w.inject(0, &:+) } p b.curry[1][2][3] #=> 6 p b.curry[1, 2][3, 4] #=> 10 p b.curry(5)[1][2][3][4][5] #=> 15 p b.curry(5)[1, 2][3, 4][5] #=> 15 p b.curry(1) #=> wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 3) b = proc { :foo } p b.curry[] #=> :foo
Returns a clone of this method.
class A def foo return "bar" end end m = A.new.method(:foo) m.call # => "bar" n = m.clone.call # => "bar"
Returns a curried proc based on the method. When the proc is called with a number of arguments that is lower than the method’s arity, then another curried proc is returned. Only when enough arguments have been supplied to satisfy the method signature, will the method actually be called.
The optional arity argument should be supplied when currying methods with variable arguments to determine how many arguments are needed before the method is called.
def foo(a,b,c) [a, b, c] end proc = self.method(:foo).curry proc2 = proc.call(1, 2) #=> #<Proc> proc2.call(3) #=> [1,2,3] def vararg(*args) args end proc = self.method(:vararg).curry(4) proc2 = proc.call(:x) #=> #<Proc> proc3 = proc2.call(:y, :z) #=> #<Proc> proc3.call(:a) #=> [:x, :y, :z, :a]
Returns an indication of the number of arguments accepted by a method. Returns a nonnegative integer for methods that take a fixed number of arguments. For Ruby methods that take a variable number of arguments, returns -n-1, where n is the number of required arguments. For methods written in C, returns -1 if the call takes a variable number of arguments.
class C def one; end def two(a); end def three(*a); end def four(a, b); end def five(a, b, *c); end def six(a, b, *c, &d); end end c = C.new c.method(:one).arity #=> 0 c.method(:two).arity #=> 1 c.method(:three).arity #=> -1 c.method(:four).arity #=> 2 c.method(:five).arity #=> -3 c.method(:six).arity #=> -3 "cat".method(:size).arity #=> 0 "cat".method(:replace).arity #=> 1 "cat".method(:squeeze).arity #=> -1 "cat".method(:count).arity #=> -1
Returns the class or module that defines the method.
Returns a clone of this method.
