Results for: "Array.new"

This is an abstract class. You never use this directly; it serves as a parent class for the specific declarations.

An SimpleRenewer allows a TupleSpace to check if a TupleEntry is still alive.

Raised when a conversion failure occurs.

Raised when a RSS::Maker attempts to use an unknown maker.

Raised when trying to activate a gem, and the gem exists on the system, but not the requested version. Instead of rescuing from this class, make sure to rescue from the superclass Gem::LoadError to catch all types of load errors.

Raised by Gem::Resolver when a Gem::Dependency::Conflict reaches the toplevel. Indicates which dependencies were incompatible through conflict and conflicting_dependencies

Signals that a file permission error is preventing the user from operating on the given directory.

Raised by Gem::Validator when something is not right in a gem.

Not a URI component.

Raised when a mathematical function is evaluated outside of its domain of definition.

For example, since cos returns values in the range -1..1, its inverse function acos is only defined on that interval:

Math.acos(42)

produces:

Math::DomainError: Numerical argument is out of domain - "acos"

Raised when an invalid operation is attempted on a Fiber, in particular when attempting to call/resume a dead fiber, attempting to yield from the root fiber, or calling a fiber across threads.

fiber = Fiber.new{}
fiber.resume #=> nil
fiber.resume #=> FiberError: dead fiber called

A class which allows both internal and external iteration.

An Enumerator can be created by the following methods.

• Object#to_enum

• Object#enum_for

• Enumerator.new

Most methods have two forms: a block form where the contents are evaluated for each item in the enumeration, and a non-block form which returns a new Enumerator wrapping the iteration.

enumerator = %w(one two three).each
puts enumerator.class # => Enumerator

enumerator.each_with_object("foo") do |item, obj|
  puts "#{obj}: #{item}"
end

# foo: one
# foo: two
# foo: three

enum_with_obj = enumerator.each_with_object("foo")
puts enum_with_obj.class # => Enumerator

enum_with_obj.each do |item, obj|
  puts "#{obj}: #{item}"
end

# foo: one
# foo: two
# foo: three

This allows you to chain Enumerators together. For example, you can map a list’s elements to strings containing the index and the element as a string via:

puts %w[foo bar baz].map.with_index { |w, i| "#{i}:#{w}" }
# => ["0:foo", "1:bar", "2:baz"]

An Enumerator can also be used as an external iterator. For example, Enumerator#next returns the next value of the iterator or raises StopIteration if the Enumerator is at the end.

e = [1,2,3].each   # returns an enumerator object.
puts e.next   # => 1
puts e.next   # => 2
puts e.next   # => 3
puts e.next   # raises StopIteration

You can use this to implement an internal iterator as follows:

def ext_each(e)
  while true
    begin
      vs = e.next_values
    rescue StopIteration
      return $!.result
    end
    y = yield(*vs)
    e.feed y
  end
end

o = Object.new

def o.each
  puts yield
  puts yield(1)
  puts yield(1, 2)
  3
end

# use o.each as an internal iterator directly.
puts o.each {|*x| puts x; [:b, *x] }
# => [], [:b], [1], [:b, 1], [1, 2], [:b, 1, 2], 3

# convert o.each to an external iterator for
# implementing an internal iterator.
puts ext_each(o.to_enum) {|*x| puts x; [:b, *x] }
# => [], [:b], [1], [:b, 1], [1, 2], [:b, 1, 2], 3

Raised to stop the iteration, in particular by Enumerator#next. It is rescued by Kernel#loop.

loop do
  puts "Hello"
  raise StopIteration
  puts "World"
end
puts "Done!"

produces:

Hello
Done!

Raised when the interrupt signal is received, typically because the user has pressed Control-C (on most posix platforms). As such, it is a subclass of SignalException.

begin
  puts "Press ctrl-C when you get bored"
  loop {}
rescue Interrupt => e
  puts "Note: You will typically use Signal.trap instead."
end

produces:

Press ctrl-C when you get bored

then waits until it is interrupted with Control-C and then prints:

Note: You will typically use Signal.trap instead.
