provides a unified clone operation, for REXML::XPathParser to use across multiple Object types

Iterates the given block int times, passing in values from zero to int - 1.

If no block is given, an Enumerator is returned instead.

5.times do |i|
  print i, " "
end
#=> 0 1 2 3 4

Rounds int to a given precision in decimal digits (default 0 digits).

Precision may be negative. Returns a floating point number when ndigits is positive, self for zero, and round down for negative.

1.round        #=> 1
1.round(2)     #=> 1.0
15.round(-1)   #=> 20

Returns a string containing the representation of int radix base (between 2 and 36).

12345.to_s       #=> "12345"
12345.to_s(2)    #=> "11000000111001"
12345.to_s(8)    #=> "30071"
12345.to_s(10)   #=> "12345"
12345.to_s(16)   #=> "3039"
12345.to_s(36)   #=> "9ix"
78546939656932.to_s(36)  #=> "rubyrules"

Returns true if the set contains the given object.

Note that include? and member? do not test member equality using == as do other Enumerables.

See also Enumerable#include?

Returns true if the set and the given set have at least one element in common.

e.g.:

require 'set'
Set[1, 2, 3].intersect? Set[4, 5] # => false
Set[1, 2, 3].intersect? Set[3, 4] # => true

Equivalent to Set#delete_if, but returns nil if no changes were made. Returns an enumerator if no block is given.

Deletes every element that appears in the given enumerable object and returns self.

Returns a string containing a human-readable representation of the set. (“#<Set: {element1, element2, …}>”)

Unlinks (deletes) the file from the filesystem. One should always unlink the file after using it, as is explained in the “Explicit close” good practice section in the Tempfile overview:

file = Tempfile.new('foo')
begin
   ...do something with file...
ensure
   file.close
   file.unlink   # deletes the temp file
end

Unlink-before-close

On POSIX systems it’s possible to unlink a file before closing it. This practice is explained in detail in the Tempfile overview (section “Unlink after creation”); please refer there for more information.

However, unlink-before-close may not be supported on non-POSIX operating systems. Microsoft Windows is the most notable case: unlinking a non-closed file will result in an error, which this method will silently ignore. If you want to practice unlink-before-close whenever possible, then you should write code like this:

file = Tempfile.new('foo')
file.unlink   # On Windows this silently fails.
begin
   ... do something with file ...
ensure
   file.close!   # Closes the file handle. If the file wasn't unlinked
                 # because #unlink failed, then this method will attempt
                 # to do so again.
end

The string representation of true is “true”.

Wakes up thr, making it eligible for scheduling.

a = Thread.new { puts "a"; Thread.stop; puts "c" }
sleep 0.1 while a.status!='sleep'
puts "Got here"
a.run
a.join

This will produce:

a
Got here
c

Returns the priority of thr. Default is inherited from the current thread which creating the new thread, or zero for the initial main thread; higher-priority thread will run more frequently than lower-priority threads (but lower-priority threads can also run).

This is just hint for Ruby thread scheduler. It may be ignored on some platform.

Thread.current.priority   #=> 0

Sets the priority of thr to integer. Higher-priority threads will run more frequently than lower-priority threads (but lower-priority threads can also run).

This is just hint for Ruby thread scheduler. It may be ignored on some platform.

count1 = count2 = 0
a = Thread.new do
      loop { count1 += 1 }
    end
a.priority = -1

b = Thread.new do
      loop { count2 += 1 }
    end
b.priority = -2
sleep 1   #=> 1
