Returns the numerator.
1 2 3+4i <- numerator
- + -i -> ----
2 3 6 <- denominator
c = Complex('1/2+2/3i') #=> ((1/2)+(2/3)*i)
n = c.numerator #=> (3+4i)
d = c.denominator #=> 6
n / d #=> ((1/2)+(2/3)*i)
Complex(Rational(n.real, d), Rational(n.imag, d))
#=> ((1/2)+(2/3)*i)
See denominator.
If numeric is the same type as num, returns an array [numeric, num]. Otherwise, returns an array with both 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]
Returns the receiver. freeze cannot be false.
Returns true if num has a zero value.
Returns self if num is not zero, nil otherwise.
This behavior is useful when chaining comparisons:
a = %w( z Bb bB bb BB a aA Aa AA A ) b = a.sort {|a,b| (a.downcase <=> b.downcase).nonzero? || a <=> b } b #=> ["A", "a", "AA", "Aa", "aA", "BB", "Bb", "bB", "bb", "z"]
Returns the largest number less than or equal to num with a precision of ndigits decimal digits (default: 0).
Numeric implements this by converting its value to a Float and invoking Float#floor.
Returns the numerator.
Convert self to locale encoding
Inserts other_str before the character at the given index, modifying str. Negative indices count from the end of the string, and insert after the given character. The intent is insert aString so that it starts at the given index.
"abcd".insert(0, 'X') #=> "Xabcd" "abcd".insert(3, 'X') #=> "abcXd" "abcd".insert(4, 'X') #=> "abcdX" "abcd".insert(-3, 'X') #=> "abXcd" "abcd".insert(-1, 'X') #=> "abcdX"
returns the indexth byte as an integer.
Returns a new string with the characters from str in reverse order.
"stressed".reverse #=> "desserts"
Reverses str in place.
Returns the Symbol corresponding to str, creating the symbol if it did not previously exist. See Symbol#id2name.
"Koala".intern #=> :Koala s = 'cat'.to_sym #=> :cat s == :cat #=> true s = '@cat'.to_sym #=> :@cat s == :@cat #=> true
This can also be used to create symbols that cannot be represented using the :xxx notation.
'cat and dog'.to_sym #=> :"cat and dog"
Centers str in width. If width is greater than the length of str, returns a new String of length width with str centered and padded with padstr; otherwise, returns str.
"hello".center(4) #=> "hello" "hello".center(20) #=> " hello " "hello".center(20, '123') #=> "1231231hello12312312"
provides a unified clone operation, for REXML::XPathParser to use across multiple Object types
Returns an array with both numeric and float represented as Float objects.
This is achieved by converting numeric to a Float.
1.2.coerce(3) #=> [3.0, 1.2] 2.5.coerce(1.1) #=> [1.1, 2.5]
Returns the modulo after division of float by other.
6543.21.modulo(137) #=> 104.21000000000004 6543.21.modulo(137.24) #=> 92.92999999999961
Returns true if float is 0.0.
Returns the largest number less than or equal to float with a precision of ndigits decimal digits (default: 0).
When the precision is negative, the returned value is an integer with at least ndigits.abs trailing zeros.
Returns a floating point number when ndigits is positive, otherwise returns an integer.
1.2.floor #=> 1 2.0.floor #=> 2 (-1.2).floor #=> -2 (-2.0).floor #=> -2 1.234567.floor(2) #=> 1.23 1.234567.floor(3) #=> 1.234 1.234567.floor(4) #=> 1.2345 1.234567.floor(5) #=> 1.23456 34567.89.floor(-5) #=> 0 34567.89.floor(-4) #=> 30000 34567.89.floor(-3) #=> 34000 34567.89.floor(-2) #=> 34500 34567.89.floor(-1) #=> 34560 34567.89.floor(0) #=> 34567 34567.89.floor(1) #=> 34567.8 34567.89.floor(2) #=> 34567.89 34567.89.floor(3) #=> 34567.89
Note that the limited precision of floating point arithmetic might lead to surprising results:
(0.3 / 0.1).floor #=> 2 (!)
Returns the numerator. The result is machine dependent.
n = 0.3.numerator #=> 5404319552844595 d = 0.3.denominator #=> 18014398509481984 n.fdiv(d) #=> 0.3

Transfer control to another fiber, resuming it from where it last stopped or starting it if it was not resumed before. The calling fiber will be suspended much like in a call to Fiber.yield. You need to require 'fiber' before using this method.
The fiber which receives the transfer call is treats it much like a resume call. Arguments passed to transfer are treated like those passed to resume.
You cannot resume a fiber that transferred control to another one. This will cause a double resume error. You need to transfer control back to this fiber before it can yield and resume.
Example:
fiber1 = Fiber.new do puts "In Fiber 1" Fiber.yield end fiber2 = Fiber.new do puts "In Fiber 2" fiber1.transfer puts "Never see this message" end fiber3 = Fiber.new do puts "In Fiber 3" end fiber2.resume fiber3.resume
produces
In fiber 2 In fiber 1 In fiber 3
Closes the directory stream. Calling this method on closed Dir object is ignored since Ruby 2.3.
d = Dir.new("testdir") d.close #=> nil
Returns the path to the current working directory of this process as a string.
Dir.chdir("/tmp") #=> 0 Dir.getwd #=> "/tmp" Dir.pwd #=> "/tmp"
