Deprecated method that is equivalent to 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>"
Returns an array with both a numeric and a big represented as Bignum objects.
This is achieved by converting numeric to a Bignum.
A TypeError is raised if the numeric is not a Fixnum or Bignum type.
(0x3FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF+1).coerce(42) #=> [42, 4611686018427387904]
provides a unified clone operation, for REXML::XPathParser to use across multiple Object types
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 value as a rational. The optional argument eps is always ignored.
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 the value as a rational if possible (the imaginary part should be exactly zero).
Complex(1.0/3, 0).rationalize #=> (1/3) Complex(1, 0.0).rationalize # RangeError Complex(1, 2).rationalize # RangeError
See to_r.
Always returns the string “nil”.
Returns zero as a rational. The optional argument eps is always ignored.
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 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"]
Invokes the given block with the sequence of numbers starting at num, incremented by step (defaulted to 1) on each call.
The loop finishes when the value to be passed to the block is greater than limit (if step is positive) or less than limit (if step is negative), where limit is defaulted to infinity.
In the recommended keyword argument style, either or both of step and limit (default infinity) can be omitted. In the fixed position argument style, zero as a step (i.e. num.step(limit, 0)) is not allowed for historical compatibility reasons.
If all the arguments are integers, the loop operates using an integer counter.
If any of the arguments are floating point numbers, all are converted to floats, and the loop is executed floor(n + n*Float::EPSILON) + 1 times, where n = (limit - num)/step.
Otherwise, the loop starts at num, uses either the less-than (<) or greater-than (>) operator to compare the counter against limit, and increments itself using the + operator.
If no block is given, an Enumerator is returned instead. Especially, the enumerator is an Enumerator::ArithmeticSequence if both limit and step are kind of Numeric or nil.
For example:
p 1.step.take(4) p 10.step(by: -1).take(4) 3.step(to: 5) {|i| print i, " " } 1.step(10, 2) {|i| print i, " " } Math::E.step(to: Math::PI, by: 0.2) {|f| print f, " " }
Will produce:
[1, 2, 3, 4] [10, 9, 8, 7] 3 4 5 1 3 5 7 9 2.718281828459045 2.9182818284590453 3.118281828459045
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 a printable version of str, surrounded by quote marks, with special characters escaped.
str = "hello" str[3] = "\b" str.inspect #=> "\"hel\\bo\""
Returns an array of the Integer ordinals of the characters in str. This is a shorthand for str.each_codepoint.to_a.
If a block is given, which is a deprecated form, works the same as each_codepoint.
If integer is greater than the length of str, returns a new String of length integer with str left justified and padded with padstr; otherwise, returns str.
"hello".ljust(4) #=> "hello" "hello".ljust(20) #=> "hello " "hello".ljust(20, '1234') #=> "hello123412341234123"
If integer is greater than the length of str, returns a new String of length integer with str right justified and padded with padstr; otherwise, returns str.
"hello".rjust(4) #=> "hello" "hello".rjust(20) #=> " hello" "hello".rjust(20, '1234') #=> "123412341234123hello"
Returns a copy of the receiver with leading and trailing whitespace removed.
Whitespace is defined as any of the following characters: null, horizontal tab, line feed, vertical tab, form feed, carriage return, space.
" hello ".strip #=> "hello" "\tgoodbye\r\n".strip #=> "goodbye" "\x00\t\n\v\f\r ".strip #=> "" "hello".strip #=> "hello"
Returns a copy of the receiver with leading whitespace removed. See also String#rstrip and String#strip.
Refer to String#strip for the definition of whitespace.
" hello ".lstrip #=> "hello " "hello".lstrip #=> "hello"
Returns a copy of the receiver with trailing whitespace removed. See also String#lstrip and String#strip.
Refer to String#strip for the definition of whitespace.
" hello ".rstrip #=> " hello" "hello".rstrip #=> "hello"
Removes leading and trailing whitespace from the receiver. Returns the altered receiver, or nil if there was no change.
Refer to String#strip for the definition of whitespace.
" hello ".strip! #=> "hello" "hello".strip! #=> nil
