Switches the mode of this table to row mode. All calls to indexing and iteration methods will work with rows until the mode is changed again.
This method returns the table and is safe to chain.
Checks if ios starts with a BOM, and then consumes it and sets the external encoding. Returns the result encoding if found, or nil. If ios is not binmode or its encoding has been set already, an exception will be raised.
File.write("bom.txt", "\u{FEFF}abc") ios = File.open("bom.txt", "rb") ios.set_encoding_by_bom #=> #<Encoding:UTF-8> File.write("nobom.txt", "abc") ios = File.open("nobom.txt", "rb") ios.set_encoding_by_bom #=> nil
Find the best specification matching a name and requirements. Raises if the dependency doesn’t resolve to a valid specification.
Return the best specification that contains the file matching path.
Removes the gemspec matching full_name from the dependency list
Returns every spec that matches name and optional requirements.
Return the best specification that contains the file matching path amongst the specs that are not activated.
Returns a duplicate table object, in mixed mode. This is handy for chaining in a single call without changing the table mode, but be aware that this method can consume a fair amount of memory for bigger data sets.
This method returns the duplicate table for chaining. Don’t chain destructive methods (like []=()) this way though, since you are working with a duplicate.
Switches the mode of this table to mixed mode. All calls to indexing and iteration methods will use the default intelligent indexing system until the mode is changed again. In mixed mode an index is assumed to be a row reference while anything else is assumed to be column access by headers.
This method returns the table and is safe to chain.
Remove everything in the DependencyList that matches but doesn’t satisfy items in dependencies (a hash of gem names to arrays of dependencies).
Returns every spec that has the given full_name
Finds a spec and the source_uri it came from for gem gem_name and version. Returns an Array of specs and sources required for installation of the gem.
mkmf.rb is used by Ruby C extensions to generate a Makefile which will correctly compile and link the C extension to Ruby and a third-party library.
Raised when a gem dependencies file specifies a ruby version that does not match the current version.
The command manager registers and installs all the individual sub-commands supported by the gem command.
Extra commands can be provided by writing a rubygems_plugin.rb file in an installed gem. You should register your command against the Gem::CommandManager instance, like this:
# file rubygems_plugin.rb require 'rubygems/command_manager' Gem::CommandManager.instance.register_command :edit
You should put the implementation of your command in rubygems/commands.
# file rubygems/commands/edit_command.rb class Gem::Commands::EditCommand < Gem::Command # ... end
See Gem::Command for instructions on writing gem commands.
Raised when encountering Ruby code with an invalid syntax.
eval("1+1=2")
raises the exception:
SyntaxError: (eval):1: syntax error, unexpected '=', expecting $end
BigDecimal provides arbitrary-precision floating point decimal arithmetic.
Ruby provides built-in support for arbitrary precision integer arithmetic.
For example:
42**13 #=> 1265437718438866624512
BigDecimal provides similar support for very large or very accurate floating point numbers.
Decimal arithmetic is also useful for general calculation, because it provides the correct answers people expect–whereas normal binary floating point arithmetic often introduces subtle errors because of the conversion between base 10 and base 2.
For example, try:
sum = 0 10_000.times do sum = sum + 0.0001 end print sum #=> 0.9999999999999062
and contrast with the output from:
require 'bigdecimal' sum = BigDecimal("0") 10_000.times do sum = sum + BigDecimal("0.0001") end print sum #=> 0.1E1
Similarly:
(BigDecimal("1.2") - BigDecimal("1.0")) == BigDecimal("0.2") #=> true (1.2 - 1.0) == 0.2 #=> false
Because BigDecimal is more accurate than normal binary floating point arithmetic, it requires some special values.
BigDecimal sometimes needs to return infinity, for example if you divide a value by zero.
BigDecimal("1.0") / BigDecimal("0.0") #=> Infinity BigDecimal("-1.0") / BigDecimal("0.0") #=> -Infinity
You can represent infinite numbers to BigDecimal using the strings 'Infinity', '+Infinity' and '-Infinity' (case-sensitive)
When a computation results in an undefined value, the special value NaN (for ‘not a number’) is returned.
Example:
BigDecimal("0.0") / BigDecimal("0.0") #=> NaN
You can also create undefined values.
NaN is never considered to be the same as any other value, even NaN itself:
n = BigDecimal('NaN') n == 0.0 #=> false n == n #=> false
If a computation results in a value which is too small to be represented as a BigDecimal within the currently specified limits of precision, zero must be returned.
If the value which is too small to be represented is negative, a BigDecimal value of negative zero is returned.
BigDecimal("1.0") / BigDecimal("-Infinity") #=> -0.0
If the value is positive, a value of positive zero is returned.
BigDecimal("1.0") / BigDecimal("Infinity") #=> 0.0
(See BigDecimal.mode for how to specify limits of precision.)
Note that -0.0 and 0.0 are considered to be the same for the purposes of comparison.
Note also that in mathematics, there is no particular concept of negative or positive zero; true mathematical zero has no sign.
When you require bigdecimal/util, the to_d method will be available on BigDecimal and the native Integer, Float, Rational, and String classes:
require 'bigdecimal/util' 42.to_d # => 0.42e2 0.5.to_d # => 0.5e0 (2/3r).to_d(3) # => 0.667e0 "0.5".to_d # => 0.5e0

The Matrix class represents a mathematical matrix. It provides methods for creating matrices, operating on them arithmetically and algebraically, and determining their mathematical properties such as trace, rank, inverse, determinant, or eigensystem.
MatchData encapsulates the result of matching a Regexp against string. It is returned by Regexp#match and String#match, and also stored in a global variable returned by Regexp.last_match.
Usage:
url = 'https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/2.5.0/MatchData.html' m = url.match(/(\d\.?)+/) # => #<MatchData "2.5.0" 1:"0"> m.string # => "https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/2.5.0/MatchData.html" m.regexp # => /(\d\.?)+/ # entire matched substring: m[0] # => "2.5.0" # Working with unnamed captures m = url.match(%r{([^/]+)/([^/]+)\.html$}) m.captures # => ["2.5.0", "MatchData"] m[1] # => "2.5.0" m.values_at(1, 2) # => ["2.5.0", "MatchData"] # Working with named captures m = url.match(%r{(?<version>[^/]+)/(?<module>[^/]+)\.html$}) m.captures # => ["2.5.0", "MatchData"] m.named_captures # => {"version"=>"2.5.0", "module"=>"MatchData"} m[:version] # => "2.5.0" m.values_at(:version, :module) # => ["2.5.0", "MatchData"] # Numerical indexes are working, too m[1] # => "2.5.0" m.values_at(1, 2) # => ["2.5.0", "MatchData"]
Parts of last MatchData (returned by Regexp.last_match) are also aliased as global variables:
$~ is Regexp.last_match;
$& is Regexp.last_match[0];
$1, $2, and so on are Regexp.last_match[i] (captures by number);
$` is Regexp.last_match.pre_match;
$' is Regexp.last_match.post_match;
$+ is Regexp.last_match[-1] (the last capture).
See also “Special global variables” section in Regexp documentation.
Raised when attempting to convert special float values (in particular Infinity or NaN) to numerical classes which don’t support them.
