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 true if the given object is present in self (that is, if any element == object), otherwise returns false.
a = [ "a", "b", "c" ] a.include?("b") #=> true a.include?("z") #=> false
When invoked with a block, yields all combinations of length n of elements from the array and then returns the array itself.
The implementation makes no guarantees about the order in which the combinations are yielded.
If no block is given, an Enumerator is returned instead.
Examples:
a = [1, 2, 3, 4] a.combination(1).to_a #=> [[1],[2],[3],[4]] a.combination(2).to_a #=> [[1,2],[1,3],[1,4],[2,3],[2,4],[3,4]] a.combination(3).to_a #=> [[1,2,3],[1,2,4],[1,3,4],[2,3,4]] a.combination(4).to_a #=> [[1,2,3,4]] a.combination(0).to_a #=> [[]] # one combination of length 0 a.combination(5).to_a #=> [] # no combinations of length 5
Builds a command line string from an argument list array joining all elements escaped for the Bourne shell and separated by a space.
See Shellwords.shelljoin for details.
Mark the object as tainted.
Objects that are marked as tainted will be restricted from various built-in methods. This is to prevent insecure data, such as command-line arguments or strings read from Kernel#gets, from inadvertently compromising the user’s system.
To check whether an object is tainted, use tainted?.
You should only untaint a tainted object if your code has inspected it and determined that it is safe. To do so use untaint.
Returns a string containing a human-readable representation of obj. The default inspect shows the object’s class name, an encoding of the object id, and a list of the instance variables and their values (by calling inspect on each of them). User defined classes should override this method to provide a better representation of obj. When overriding this method, it should return a string whose encoding is compatible with the default external encoding.
[ 1, 2, 3..4, 'five' ].inspect #=> "[1, 2, 3..4, \"five\"]" Time.new.inspect #=> "2008-03-08 19:43:39 +0900" class Foo end Foo.new.inspect #=> "#<Foo:0x0300c868>" class Bar def initialize @bar = 1 end end Bar.new.inspect #=> "#<Bar:0x0300c868 @bar=1>"
Since int is already an Integer, this always returns true.
Returns the absolute value of int.
(-12345).abs #=> 12345 -12345.abs #=> 12345 12345.abs #=> 12345
Integer#magnitude is an alias for Integer#abs.
Returns a string containing the place-value representation of int with 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 the absolute part of its polar form.
Complex(-1).abs #=> 1 Complex(3.0, -4.0).abs #=> 5.0
Returns the value as a string for inspection.
Complex(2).inspect #=> "(2+0i)" Complex('-8/6').inspect #=> "((-4/3)+0i)" Complex('1/2i').inspect #=> "(0+(1/2)*i)" Complex(0, Float::INFINITY).inspect #=> "(0+Infinity*i)" Complex(Float::NAN, Float::NAN).inspect #=> "(NaN+NaN*i)"
Returns true if cmp‘s real and imaginary parts are both finite numbers, otherwise returns false.
Always returns the string “nil”.
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 for Numeric#abs.
Returns true if num is a finite number, otherwise returns false.
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"
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(/(.)\1/, 3) #=> nil '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 the index of the first occurrence of the given substring or pattern (regexp) in str. Returns nil if not found. If the second parameter is present, it specifies the position in the string to begin the search.
"hello".index('e') #=> 1 "hello".index('lo') #=> 3 "hello".index('a') #=> nil "hello".index(?e) #=> 1 "hello".index(/[aeiou]/, -3) #=> 4
Returns the index of the last occurrence of the given substring or pattern (regexp) in str. Returns nil if not found. If the second parameter is present, it specifies the position in the string to end the search—characters beyond this point will not be considered.
"hello".rindex('e') #=> 1 "hello".rindex('l') #=> 3 "hello".rindex('a') #=> nil "hello".rindex(?e) #=> 1 "hello".rindex(/[aeiou]/, -2) #=> 1
