Returns a new Array that is the union of self and all given Arrays other_arrays; duplicates are removed; order is preserved; items are compared using eql?:
[0, 1, 2, 3].union([4, 5], [6, 7]) # => [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7] [0, 1, 1].union([2, 1], [3, 1]) # => [0, 1, 2, 3] [0, 1, 2, 3].union([3, 2], [1, 0]) # => [0, 1, 2, 3]
Returns a copy of self if no arguments given.

Returns a new Array containing each element found both in self and in all of the given Arrays other_arrays; duplicates are omitted; items are compared using eql?:
[0, 1, 2, 3].intersection([0, 1, 2], [0, 1, 3]) # => [0, 1] [0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 3].intersection([0, 1, 2], [0, 1, 3]) # => [0, 1]
Preserves order from self:
[0, 1, 2].intersection([2, 1, 0]) # => [0, 1, 2]
Returns a copy of self if no arguments given.
Related: Array#&.
Prepends the given objects to self:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2] a.unshift(:bam, :bat) # => [:bam, :bat, :foo, "bar", 2]
Array#prepend is an alias for Array#unshift.
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]
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!.
Transposes the rows and columns in an Array of Arrays; the nested Arrays must all be the same size:
a = [[:a0, :a1], [:b0, :b1], [:c0, :c1]] a.transpose # => [[:a0, :b0, :c0], [:a1, :b1, :c1]]
Returns a new Array containing all non-nil elements from self:
a = [nil, 0, nil, 1, nil, 2, nil] a.compact # => [0, 1, 2]
Removes all nil elements from self.
Returns self if any elements removed, otherwise nil.
Returns a count of specified elements.
With no argument and no block, returns the count of all elements:
[0, 1, 2].count # => 3 [].count # => 0
With argument obj, returns the count of elements eql? to obj:
[0, 1, 2, 0].count(0) # => 2 [0, 1, 2].count(3) # => 0
With no argument and a block given, calls the block with each element; returns the count of elements for which the block returns a truthy value:
[0, 1, 2, 3].count {|element| element > 1} # => 2
With argument obj and a block given, issues a warning, ignores the block, and returns the count of elements eql? to obj:
When invoked with a block, yield all permutations of elements of self; returns self. The order of permutations 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 permutations of self.
Example:
a = [0, 1, 2] a.permutation(2) {|permutation| p permutation }
Output:
[0, 1] [0, 2] [1, 0] [1, 2] [2, 0] [2, 1]
Another example:
a = [0, 1, 2] a.permutation(3) {|permutation| p permutation }
Output:
[0, 1, 2] [0, 2, 1] [1, 0, 2] [1, 2, 0] [2, 0, 1] [2, 1, 0]
When n is zero, calls the block once with a new empty Array:
a = [0, 1, 2] a.permutation(0) {|permutation| p permutation }
Output:
[]
When n is out of range (negative or larger than self.size), does not call the block:
a = [0, 1, 2] a.permutation(-1) {|permutation| fail 'Cannot happen' } a.permutation(4) {|permutation| fail 'Cannot happen' }
When a block given but no argument, behaves the same as a.permutation(a.size):
a = [0, 1, 2] a.permutation {|permutation| p permutation }
Output:
[0, 1, 2] [0, 2, 1] [1, 0, 2] [1, 2, 0] [2, 0, 1] [2, 1, 0]
Returns a new Enumerator if no block given:
a = [0, 1, 2] a.permutation # => #<Enumerator: [0, 1, 2]:permutation> a.permutation(2) # => #<Enumerator: [0, 1, 2]:permutation(2)>
Returns true if no element of self meet a given criterion.
With no block given and no argument, returns true if self has no truthy elements, false otherwise:
[nil, false].none? # => true [nil, 0, false].none? # => false [].none? # => true
With a block given and no argument, calls the block with each element in self; returns true if the block returns no truthy value, false otherwise:
[0, 1, 2].none? {|element| element > 3 } # => true [0, 1, 2].none? {|element| element > 1 } # => false
If argument obj is given, returns true if obj.=== no element, false otherwise:
['food', 'drink'].none?(/bar/) # => true ['food', 'drink'].none?(/foo/) # => false [].none?(/foo/) # => true [0, 1, 2].none?(3) # => true [0, 1, 2].none?(1) # => false
Related: Enumerable#none?
Returns true if exactly one element of self meets a given criterion.
With no block given and no argument, returns true if self has exactly one truthy element, false otherwise:
[nil, 0].one? # => true [0, 0].one? # => false [nil, nil].one? # => false [].one? # => false
With a block given and no argument, calls the block with each element in self; returns true if the block a truthy value for exactly one element, false otherwise:
[0, 1, 2].one? {|element| element > 0 } # => false [0, 1, 2].one? {|element| element > 1 } # => true [0, 1, 2].one? {|element| element > 2 } # => false
If argument obj is given, returns true if obj.=== exactly one element, false otherwise:
[0, 1, 2].one?(0) # => true [0, 0, 1].one?(0) # => false [1, 1, 2].one?(0) # => false ['food', 'drink'].one?(/bar/) # => false ['food', 'drink'].one?(/foo/) # => true [].one?(/foo/) # => false

Returns a Hash containing implementation-dependent counters inside the VM.
This hash includes information about method/constant cache serials:
{
:global_constant_state=>481,
:class_serial=>9029
}
The contents of the hash are implementation specific and may be changed in the future.
This method is only expected to work on C Ruby.
Returns a Digest subclass by name in a thread-safe manner even when on-demand loading is involved.
require 'digest' Digest("MD5") # => Digest::MD5 Digest(:SHA256) # => Digest::SHA256 Digest(:Foo) # => LoadError: library not found for class Digest::Foo -- digest/foo
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>"
Returns an array with both a numeric and a big represented as Bignum objects.
This is achieved by converting numeric to a Bignum.
A TypeError is raised if the numeric is not a Fixnum or Bignum type.
(0x3FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF+1).coerce(42) #=> [42, 4611686018427387904]
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 value as a rational. The optional argument eps is always ignored.
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 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.
Always returns the string “nil”.
