Returns a simpler approximation of the value (flt-|eps| <= result <= flt+|eps|). If the optional argument eps is not given, it will be chosen automatically.

With no argument, or if the argument is the same as the receiver, return the receiver. Otherwise, create a new exception object of the same class as the receiver, but with a message equal to string.to_str.

Returns a simpler approximation of the value if the optional argument eps is given (rat-|eps| <= result <= rat+|eps|), self otherwise.
r = Rational(5033165, 16777216) r.rationalize #=> (5033165/16777216) r.rationalize(Rational('0.01')) #=> (3/10) r.rationalize(Rational('0.1')) #=> (1/3)
Return a Regexp object that is the union of the given patterns, i.e., will match any of its parts. The patterns can be Regexp objects, in which case their options will be preserved, or Strings. If no patterns are given, returns /(?!)/. The behavior is unspecified if any given pattern contains capture.
Regexp.union #=> /(?!)/ Regexp.union("penzance") #=> /penzance/ Regexp.union("a+b*c") #=> /a\+b\*c/ Regexp.union("skiing", "sledding") #=> /skiing|sledding/ Regexp.union(["skiing", "sledding"]) #=> /skiing|sledding/ Regexp.union(/dogs/, /cats/i) #=> /(?-mix:dogs)|(?i-mx:cats)/
Note: the arguments for ::union will try to be converted into a regular expression literal via to_regexp.
Returns the set of bits corresponding to the options used when creating this Regexp (see Regexp::new for details. Note that additional bits may be set in the returned options: these are used internally by the regular expression code. These extra bits are ignored if the options are passed to Regexp::new.
Regexp::IGNORECASE #=> 1 Regexp::EXTENDED #=> 2 Regexp::MULTILINE #=> 4 /cat/.options #=> 0 /cat/ix.options #=> 3 Regexp.new('cat', true).options #=> 1 /\xa1\xa2/e.options #=> 16 r = /cat/ix Regexp.new(r.source, r.options) #=> /cat/ix
Returns true if argument is optional.

Returns true if this is a permutation matrix Raises an error if matrix is not square.
Returns x/y or arg as a Rational.

Syntax of the string form:
string form = extra spaces , rational , extra spaces ;
rational = [ sign ] , unsigned rational ;
unsigned rational = numerator | numerator , "/" , denominator ;
numerator = integer part | fractional part | integer part , fractional part ;
denominator = digits ;
integer part = digits ;
fractional part = "." , digits , [ ( "e" | "E" ) , [ sign ] , digits ] ;
sign = "-" | "+" ;
digits = digit , { digit | "_" , digit } ;

Returns the options bitmask used in the last call to open()
Returns an Array of option names.
p FileUtils.options #=> ["noop", "force", "verbose", "preserve", "mode"]
UNTESTED
Get the names of all sections in the current configuration
Get an array of all Instruction children. IMMUTABLE
Called when an instruction is encountered. EG: <?xsl sheet=‘foo’?> @p name the instruction name; in the example, “xsl” @p instruction the rest of the instruction. In the example, “sheet=‘foo’”
Creates or an HTTP connection based on uri, or retrieves an existing connection, using a proxy if needed.
Raises PStore::Error if the calling code is not in a PStore#transaction or if the code is in a read-only PStore#transaction.
Returns the status of the global “abort on exception” condition.
The default is false.
When set to true, if any thread is aborted by an exception, the raised exception will be re-raised in the main thread.
Can also be specified by the global $DEBUG flag or command line option -d.
See also ::abort_on_exception=.
There is also an instance level method to set this for a specific thread, see abort_on_exception.
