Invokes the given block once for each element of self
.
Creates a new array containing the values returned by the block.
See also Enumerable#collect
.
If no block is given, an Enumerator
is returned instead.
a = [ "a", "b", "c", "d" ] a.collect { |x| x + "!" } #=> ["a!", "b!", "c!", "d!"] a.map.with_index { |x, i| x * i } #=> ["", "b", "cc", "ddd"] a #=> ["a", "b", "c", "d"]
Invokes the given block once for each element of self
, replacing the element with the value returned by the block.
See also Enumerable#collect
.
If no block is given, an Enumerator
is returned instead.
a = [ "a", "b", "c", "d" ] a.map! {|x| x + "!" } a #=> [ "a!", "b!", "c!", "d!" ] a.collect!.with_index {|x, i| x[0...i] } a #=> ["", "b", "c!", "d!"]
Returns the remainder after dividing big by numeric as:
x.remainder(y) means x-y*(x/y).truncate
Examples
5.remainder(3) #=> 2 -5.remainder(3) #=> -2 5.remainder(-3) #=> 2 -5.remainder(-3) #=> -2 -1234567890987654321.remainder(13731) #=> -6966 -1234567890987654321.remainder(13731.24) #=> -9906.22531493148
See Numeric#divmod
.
Returns the absolute value of int
.
-12345.abs #=> 12345 12345.abs #=> 12345 -1234567890987654321.abs #=> 1234567890987654321
Returns the imaginary part.
Complex(7).imaginary #=> 0 Complex(9, -4).imaginary #=> -4
Returns the absolute part of its polar form.
Complex(-1).abs #=> 1 Complex(3.0, -4.0).abs #=> 5.0
Returns zero.
Returns zero.
Returns the absolute value of num
.
12.abs #=> 12 (-34.56).abs #=> 34.56 -34.56.abs #=> 34.56
Numeric#magnitude
is an alias of Numeric#abs
.
Converts pattern to a Regexp
(if it isn’t already one), then invokes its match
method on str. If the second parameter is present, it specifies the position in the string to begin the search.
'hello'.match('(.)\1') #=> #<MatchData "ll" 1:"l"> 'hello'.match('(.)\1')[0] #=> "ll" 'hello'.match(/(.)\1/)[0] #=> "ll" 'hello'.match('xx') #=> nil
If a block is given, invoke the block with MatchData
if match succeed, so that you can write
str.match(pat) {|m| ...}
instead of
if m = str.match(pat) ... end
The return value is a value from block execution in this case.
Converts pattern to a Regexp
(if it isn’t already one), then returns a true
or false
indicates whether the regexp is matched str or not without updating $~
and other related variables. If the second parameter is present, it specifies the position in the string to begin the search.
"Ruby".match?(/R.../) #=> true "Ruby".match?(/R.../, 1) #=> false "Ruby".match?(/P.../) #=> false $& #=> nil
Returns true if path
matches against pattern
. The pattern is not a regular expression; instead it follows rules similar to shell filename globbing. It may contain the following metacharacters:
*
Matches any file. Can be restricted by other values in the glob. Equivalent to / .* /x
in regexp.
*
Matches all files regular files
c*
Matches all files beginning with c
*c
Matches all files ending with c
*c*
Matches all files that have c
in them (including at the beginning or end).
To match hidden files (that start with a .
set the File::FNM_DOTMATCH flag.
**
Matches directories recursively or files expansively.
?
Matches any one character. Equivalent to /.{1}/
in regexp.
[set]
Matches any one character in set
. Behaves exactly like character sets in Regexp
, including set negation ([^a-z]
).
\
Escapes the next metacharacter.
{a,b}
Matches pattern a and pattern b if File::FNM_EXTGLOB flag is enabled. Behaves like a Regexp
union ((?:a|b)
).
flags
is a bitwise OR of the FNM_XXX
constants. The same glob pattern and flags are used by Dir::glob
.

Returns the current umask value for this process. If the optional argument is given, set the umask to that value and return the previous value. Umask values are subtracted from the default permissions, so a umask of 0222
would make a file read-only for everyone.
