Returns num rounded to the nearest value with a precision of ndigits decimal digits (default: 0).
Numeric implements this by converting its value to a Float and invoking Float#round.
Treats leading characters of str as a string of octal digits (with an optional sign) and returns the corresponding number. Returns 0 if the conversion fails.
"123".oct #=> 83 "-377".oct #=> -255 "bad".oct #=> 0 "0377bad".oct #=> 255
If str starts with 0, radix indicators are honored. See Kernel#Integer.
Prepends each string in other_strings to self and returns self:
s = 'foo' s.prepend('bar', 'baz') # => "barbazfoo" s # => "barbazfoo"
Related: String#concat.
Returns true if float is 0.0.
Returns float rounded to the nearest value with a precision of ndigits decimal digits (default: 0).
When the precision is negative, the returned value is an integer with at least ndigits.abs trailing zeros.
Returns a floating point number when ndigits is positive, otherwise returns an integer.

If the optional half keyword argument is given, numbers that are half-way between two possible rounded values will be rounded according to the specified tie-breaking mode:
:up or nil: round half away from zero (default)
:down: round half toward zero
:even: round half toward the nearest even number
2.5.round(half: :up) #=> 3 2.5.round(half: :down) #=> 2 2.5.round(half: :even) #=> 2 3.5.round(half: :up) #=> 4 3.5.round(half: :down) #=> 3 3.5.round(half: :even) #=> 4 (-2.5).round(half: :up) #=> -3 (-2.5).round(half: :down) #=> -2 (-2.5).round(half: :even) #=> -2
Returns true if fiber is blocking and false otherwise. Fiber is non-blocking if it was created via passing blocking: false to Fiber.new, or via Fiber.schedule.
Note, that even if the method returns false, Fiber behaves differently only if Fiber.scheduler is set in the current thread.
See the “Non-blocking fibers” section in class docs for details.
Returns false if the current fiber is non-blocking. Fiber is non-blocking if it was created via passing blocking: false to Fiber.new, or via Fiber.schedule.
If the current Fiber is blocking, the method, unlike usual predicate methods, returns a number of blocking fibers currently running (TBD: always 1?).
Note, that even if the method returns false, Fiber behaves differently only if Fiber.scheduler is set in the current thread.
See the “Non-blocking fibers” section in class docs for details.
Changes this process’s idea of the file system root. Only a privileged process may make this call. Not available on all platforms. On Unix systems, see chroot(2) for more information.
Locks or unlocks a file according to locking_constant (a logical or of the values in the table below). Returns false if File::LOCK_NB is specified and the operation would otherwise have blocked. Not available on all platforms.
Locking constants (in class File):
LOCK_EX | Exclusive lock. Only one process may hold an
| exclusive lock for a given file at a time.
----------+------------------------------------------------
LOCK_NB | Don't block when locking. May be combined
| with other lock options using logical or.
----------+------------------------------------------------
LOCK_SH | Shared lock. Multiple processes may each hold a
| shared lock for a given file at the same time.
----------+------------------------------------------------
LOCK_UN | Unlock.
Example:
# update a counter using write lock # don't use "w" because it truncates the file before lock. File.open("counter", File::RDWR|File::CREAT, 0644) {|f| f.flock(File::LOCK_EX) value = f.read.to_i + 1 f.rewind f.write("#{value}\n") f.flush f.truncate(f.pos) } # read the counter using read lock File.open("counter", "r") {|f| f.flock(File::LOCK_SH) p f.read }
Returns true if the named file exists and has a zero size.
file_name can be an IO object.
Invokes Module.prepend_features on each parameter in reverse order.
Callback invoked whenever the receiver is included in another module or class. This should be used in preference to Module.append_features if your code wants to perform some action when a module is included in another.
module A def A.included(mod) puts "#{self} included in #{mod}" end end module Enumerable include A end # => prints "A included in Enumerable"
With no arguments, sets the default visibility for subsequently defined methods to private. With arguments, sets the named methods to have private visibility. String arguments are converted to symbols. An Array of Symbols and/or Strings are also accepted.
module Mod def a() end def b() end private def c() end private :a end Mod.private_instance_methods #=> [:a, :c]
Note that to show a private method on RDoc, use :doc:.
Returns an Array of two Integer values that represent platform-dependent internal storage properties.
This method is deprecated and will be removed in the future. Instead, use BigDecimal#n_significant_digits for obtaining the number of significant digits in scientific notation, and BigDecimal#precision for obtaining the number of digits in decimal notation.
BigDecimal('5').precs #=> [9, 18]
Returns the number of decimal digits in this number.
Example:
BigDecimal("0").precision # => 0 BigDecimal("1").precision # => 1 BigDecimal("-1e20").precision # => 21 BigDecimal("1e-20").precision # => 20 BigDecimal("Infinity").precision # => 0 BigDecimal("-Infinity").precision # => 0 BigDecimal("NaN").precision # => 0
Round to the nearest integer (by default), returning the result as a BigDecimal if n is specified, or as an Integer if it isn’t.
BigDecimal('3.14159').round #=> 3 BigDecimal('8.7').round #=> 9 BigDecimal('-9.9').round #=> -10 BigDecimal('3.14159').round(2).class.name #=> "BigDecimal" BigDecimal('3.14159').round.class.name #=> "Integer"
If n is specified and positive, the fractional part of the result has no more than that many digits.
If n is specified and negative, at least that many digits to the left of the decimal point will be 0 in the result, and return value will be an Integer.
BigDecimal('3.14159').round(3) #=> 3.142 BigDecimal('13345.234').round(-2) #=> 13300
The value of the optional mode argument can be used to determine how rounding is performed; see BigDecimal.mode.
Returns True if the value is zero.
Returns self if the value is non-zero, nil otherwise.
Returns rat rounded to the nearest value with a precision of ndigits decimal digits (default: 0).
When the precision is negative, the returned value is an integer with at least ndigits.abs trailing zeros.
Returns a rational when ndigits is positive, otherwise returns an integer.
Rational(3).round #=> 3 Rational(2, 3).round #=> 1 Rational(-3, 2).round #=> -2 # decimal - 1 2 3 . 4 5 6 # ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ # precision -3 -2 -1 0 +1 +2 Rational('-123.456').round(+1).to_f #=> -123.5 Rational('-123.456').round(-1) #=> -120
The optional half keyword argument is available similar to Float#round.
Rational(25, 100).round(1, half: :up) #=> (3/10) Rational(25, 100).round(1, half: :down) #=> (1/5) Rational(25, 100).round(1, half: :even) #=> (1/5) Rational(35, 100).round(1, half: :up) #=> (2/5) Rational(35, 100).round(1, half: :down) #=> (3/10) Rational(35, 100).round(1, half: :even) #=> (2/5) Rational(-25, 100).round(1, half: :up) #=> (-3/10) Rational(-25, 100).round(1, half: :down) #=> (-1/5) Rational(-25, 100).round(1, half: :even) #=> (-1/5)
Print an argument or list of arguments to the default output stream
cgi = CGI.new cgi.print # default: cgi.print == $DEFAULT_OUTPUT.print
Same as Time.utc, but interprets the values in the local time zone.
Time.local(2000,"jan",1,20,15,1) #=> 2000-01-01 20:15:01 -0600
Converts time to local time (using the local time zone in effect at the creation time of time) modifying the receiver.
If utc_offset is given, it is used instead of the local time.
t = Time.utc(2000, "jan", 1, 20, 15, 1) #=> 2000-01-01 20:15:01 UTC t.utc? #=> true t.localtime #=> 2000-01-01 14:15:01 -0600 t.utc? #=> false t.localtime("+09:00") #=> 2000-01-02 05:15:01 +0900 t.utc? #=> false
If utc_offset is not given and time is local time, just returns the receiver.
Returns a new Time object representing time in local time (using the local time zone in effect for this process).
If utc_offset is given, it is used instead of the local time. utc_offset can be given as a human-readable string (eg. "+09:00") or as a number of seconds (eg. 32400).
t = Time.utc(2000,1,1,20,15,1) #=> 2000-01-01 20:15:01 UTC t.utc? #=> true l = t.getlocal #=> 2000-01-01 14:15:01 -0600 l.utc? #=> false t == l #=> true j = t.getlocal("+09:00") #=> 2000-01-02 05:15:01 +0900 j.utc? #=> false t == j #=> true k = t.getlocal(9*60*60) #=> 2000-01-02 05:15:01 +0900 k.utc? #=> false t == k #=> true
