Results for: "slice"

The last row read from this file.

Returns the bound receiver of the binding object.

Returns true if this is a symmetric matrix. Raises an error if matrix is not square.

Returns true if this is an antisymmetric matrix. Raises an error if matrix is not square.

Returns the trace (sum of diagonal elements) of the matrix.

Matrix[[7,6], [3,9]].trace
  => 16

The coerce method provides support for Ruby type coercion. 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. See also Numeric#coerce.

Returns a new vector with the same direction but with norm 1.

v = Vector[5,8,2].normalize
# => Vector[0.5184758473652127, 0.8295613557843402, 0.20739033894608505]
v.norm => 1.0

Directs to accept specified class t. The argument string is passed to the block in which it should be converted to the desired class.

t

Argument class specifier, any object including Class.

pat

Pattern for argument, defaults to t if it responds to match.

accept(t, pat, &block)

See accept.

Replaces the contents of the set with the contents of the given enumerable object and returns self.

set = Set[1, 'c', :s]             #=> #<Set: {1, "c", :s}>
set.replace([1, 2])               #=> #<Set: {1, 2}>
set                               #=> #<Set: {1, 2}>

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

A convenience method for TracePoint.new, that activates the trace automatically.

trace = TracePoint.trace(:call) { |tp| [tp.lineno, tp.event] }
#=> #<TracePoint:enabled>

trace.enabled? #=> true

Line number of the event

Returns the bound receiver of the method object.

(1..3).method(:map).receiver # => 1..3

Returns an array of Thread objects for all threads that are either runnable or stopped.

Thread.new { sleep(200) }
Thread.new { 1000000.times {|i| i*i } }
Thread.new { Thread.stop }
Thread.list.each {|t| p t}

This will produce:

#<Thread:0x401b3e84 sleep>
#<Thread:0x401b3f38 run>
#<Thread:0x401b3fb0 sleep>
#<Thread:0x401bdf4c run>

Returns true if thr is running or sleeping.

thr = Thread.new { }
thr.join                #=> #<Thread:0x401b3fb0 dead>
Thread.current.alive?   #=> true
thr.alive?              #=> false

See also stop? and status.

Returns the current backtrace of the target thread.

Returns an array of all existing Thread objects that belong to this group.

ThreadGroup::Default.list   #=> [#<Thread:0x401bdf4c run>]

Releases the lock and sleeps timeout seconds if it is given and non-nil or forever. Raises ThreadError if mutex wasn’t locked by the current thread.

When the thread is next woken up, it will attempt to reacquire the lock.

Note that this method can wakeup without explicit Thread#wakeup call. For example, receiving signal and so on.

Equivalent to Kernel::gets, except readline raises EOFError at end of file.

Returns an array containing the lines returned by calling Kernel.gets(sep) until the end of file.
