Returns garbage collector generation for the given object.

Reads at most maxlen bytes from the I/O stream. It blocks only if ios has no data immediately available. It doesn’t block if some data available.
If the optional outbuf argument is present, it must reference a String, which will receive the data. The outbuf will contain only the received data after the method call even if it is not empty at the beginning.
It raises EOFError on end of file.
readpartial is designed for streams such as pipe, socket, tty, etc. It blocks only when no data immediately available. This means that it blocks only when following all conditions hold.
the byte buffer in the IO object is empty.
the content of the stream is empty.
the stream is not reached to EOF.
When readpartial blocks, it waits data or EOF on the stream. If some data is reached, readpartial returns with the data. If EOF is reached, readpartial raises EOFError.
When readpartial doesn’t blocks, it returns or raises immediately. If the byte buffer is not empty, it returns the data in the buffer. Otherwise if the stream has some content, it returns the data in the stream. Otherwise if the stream is reached to EOF, it raises EOFError.
r, w = IO.pipe # buffer pipe content w << "abc" # "" "abc". r.readpartial(4096) #=> "abc" "" "" r.readpartial(4096) # blocks because buffer and pipe is empty. r, w = IO.pipe # buffer pipe content w << "abc" # "" "abc" w.close # "" "abc" EOF r.readpartial(4096) #=> "abc" "" EOF r.readpartial(4096) # raises EOFError r, w = IO.pipe # buffer pipe content w << "abc\ndef\n" # "" "abc\ndef\n" r.gets #=> "abc\n" "def\n" "" w << "ghi\n" # "def\n" "ghi\n" r.readpartial(4096) #=> "def\n" "" "ghi\n" r.readpartial(4096) #=> "ghi\n" "" ""
Note that readpartial behaves similar to sysread. The differences are:
If the byte buffer is not empty, read from the byte buffer instead of “sysread for buffered IO (IOError)”.
It doesn’t cause Errno::EWOULDBLOCK and Errno::EINTR. When readpartial meets EWOULDBLOCK and EINTR by read system call, readpartial retry the system call.
The latter means that readpartial is nonblocking-flag insensitive. It blocks on the situation IO#sysread causes Errno::EWOULDBLOCK as if the fd is blocking mode.
Reads at most maxlen bytes from the ARGF stream.
If the optional outbuf argument is present, it must reference a String, which will receive the data. The outbuf will contain only the received data after the method call even if it is not empty at the beginning.
It raises EOFError on end of ARGF stream. Since ARGF stream is a concatenation of multiple files, internally EOF is occur for each file. ARGF.readpartial returns empty strings for EOFs except the last one and raises EOFError for the last one.

Set Intersection — Returns a new array containing unique elements common to self and other_arys. Order is preserved from the original array.
It compares elements using their hash and eql? methods for efficiency.
[ 1, 1, 3, 5 ].intersection([ 3, 2, 1 ]) # => [ 1, 3 ] [ "a", "b", "z" ].intersection([ "a", "b", "c" ], [ "b" ]) # => [ "b" ] [ "a" ].intersection #=> [ "a" ]
See also Array#&.
When invoked with a block, yield all permutations of length n of the elements of the array, then return the array itself.
If n is not specified, yield all permutations of all elements.
The implementation makes no guarantees about the order in which the permutations are yielded.
If no block is given, an Enumerator is returned instead.
Examples:
a = [1, 2, 3] a.permutation.to_a #=> [[1,2,3],[1,3,2],[2,1,3],[2,3,1],[3,1,2],[3,2,1]] a.permutation(1).to_a #=> [[1],[2],[3]] a.permutation(2).to_a #=> [[1,2],[1,3],[2,1],[2,3],[3,1],[3,2]] a.permutation(3).to_a #=> [[1,2,3],[1,3,2],[2,1,3],[2,3,1],[3,1,2],[3,2,1]] a.permutation(0).to_a #=> [[]] # one permutation of length 0 a.permutation(4).to_a #=> [] # no permutations of length 4
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
Returns the value as a rational. The optional argument eps is always ignored.
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.
Returns zero as a rational. The optional argument eps is always ignored.
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.
0.3.rationalize #=> (3/10) 1.333.rationalize #=> (1333/1000) 1.333.rationalize(0.01) #=> (4/3)

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.
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)
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.

Sets optional filename and line number that will be used in ERB code evaluation and error reporting. See also filename= and lineno=
erb = ERB.new('<%= some_x %>') erb.render # undefined local variable or method `some_x' # from (erb):1 erb.location = ['file.erb', 3] # All subsequent error reporting would use new location erb.render # undefined local variable or method `some_x' # from file.erb:4
Returns true if this is a permutation matrix Raises an error if matrix is not square.
Opens a new transaction for the data store. Code executed inside a block passed to this method may read and write data to and from the data store file.
At the end of the block, changes are committed to the data store automatically. You may exit the transaction early with a call to either PStore#commit or PStore#abort. See those methods for details about how changes are handled. Raising an uncaught Exception in the block is equivalent to calling PStore#abort.
If read_only is set to true, you will only be allowed to read from the data store during the transaction and any attempts to change the data will raise a PStore::Error.
Note that PStore does not support nested transactions.
Returns x/y or arg as a Rational.
