Inserts given objects before or after the element at Integer index offset; returns self.
When index is non-negative, inserts all given objects before the element at offset index:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2] a.insert(1, :bat, :bam) # => [:foo, :bat, :bam, "bar", 2]
Extends the array if index is beyond the array (index >= self.size):
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2] a.insert(5, :bat, :bam) a # => [:foo, "bar", 2, nil, nil, :bat, :bam]
Does nothing if no objects given:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2] a.insert(1) a.insert(50) a.insert(-50) a # => [:foo, "bar", 2]
When index is negative, inserts all given objects after the element at offset index+self.size:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2] a.insert(-2, :bat, :bam) a # => [:foo, "bar", :bat, :bam, 2]
Returns the index of a specified element.
When argument object is given but no block, returns the index of the first element element for which object == element:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2, 'bar'] a.index('bar') # => 1
Returns nil if no such element found.
When both argument object and a block are given, calls the block with each successive element; returns the index of the first element for which the block returns a truthy value:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2, 'bar'] a.index {|element| element == 'bar' } # => 1
Returns nil if the block never returns a truthy value.
When neither an argument nor a block is given, returns a new Enumerator:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2] e = a.index e # => #<Enumerator: [:foo, "bar", 2]:index> e.each {|element| element == 'bar' } # => 1
Array#find_index is an alias for Array#index.
Related: rindex.
Returns the index of the last element for which object == element.
When argument object is given but no block, returns the index of the last such element found:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2, 'bar'] a.rindex('bar') # => 3
Returns nil if no such object found.
When a block is given but no argument, calls the block with each successive element; returns the index of the last element for which the block returns a truthy value:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2, 'bar'] a.rindex {|element| element == 'bar' } # => 3
Returns nil if the block never returns a truthy value.
When neither an argument nor a block is given, returns a new Enumerator:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2, 'bar'] e = a.rindex e # => #<Enumerator: [:foo, "bar", 2, "bar"]:rindex> e.each {|element| element == 'bar' } # => 3
Related: index.
Returns the new String formed by joining the array elements after conversion. For each element element
Uses element.to_s if element is not a kind_of?(Array).
Uses recursive element.join(separator) if element is a kind_of?(Array).
With no argument, joins using the output field separator, $,:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2] $, # => nil a.join # => "foobar2"
With string argument separator, joins using that separator:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2] a.join("\n") # => "foo\nbar\n2"
Joins recursively for nested Arrays:
a = [:foo, [:bar, [:baz, :bat]]] a.join # => "foobarbazbat"
Calls the block, if given, with each element of self; returns a new Array whose elements are the return values from the block:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2] a1 = a.map {|element| element.class } a1 # => [Symbol, String, Integer]
Returns a new Enumerator if no block given:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2] a1 = a.map a1 # => #<Enumerator: [:foo, "bar", 2]:map>
Array#collect is an alias for Array#map.
Calls the block, if given, with each element; replaces the element with the block’s return value:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2] a.map! { |element| element.class } # => [Symbol, String, Integer]
Returns a new Enumerator if no block given:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2] a1 = a.map! a1 # => #<Enumerator: [:foo, "bar", 2]:map!>
Array#collect! is an alias for Array#map!.
Returns true if for some index i in self, obj == self[i]; otherwise false:
[0, 1, 2].include?(2) # => true [0, 1, 2].include?(3) # => false
Calls the block, if given, with combinations of elements of self; returns self. The order of combinations is indeterminate.
When a block and an in-range positive Integer argument n (0 < n <= self.size) are given, calls the block with all n-tuple combinations of self.
Example:
a = [0, 1, 2] a.combination(2) {|combination| p combination }
Output:
[0, 1] [0, 2] [1, 2]
Another example:
a = [0, 1, 2] a.combination(3) {|combination| p combination }
Output:
[0, 1, 2]
When n is zero, calls the block once with a new empty Array:
a = [0, 1, 2] a1 = a.combination(0) {|combination| p combination }
Output:
[]
When n is out of range (negative or larger than self.size), does not call the block:
a = [0, 1, 2] a.combination(-1) {|combination| fail 'Cannot happen' } a.combination(4) {|combination| fail 'Cannot happen' }
Returns a new Enumerator if no block given:
a = [0, 1, 2] a.combination(2) # => #<Enumerator: [0, 1, 2]:combination(2)>
Builds a command line string from an argument list array joining all elements escaped for the Bourne shell and separated by a space.

Returns object. This method is deprecated and will be removed in Ruby 3.2.
Returns false. This method is deprecated and will be removed in Ruby 3.2.
Returns object. This method is deprecated and will be removed in Ruby 3.2.
Returns a string containing a human-readable representation of obj. The default inspect shows the object’s class name, an encoding of its memory address, 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 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.
