Returns the new String formed by calling method #inspect on each array element:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2] a.inspect # => "[:foo, \"bar\", 2]"
Array#to_s is an alias for Array#inspect.
Returns a new Array containing only those elements from self that are not found in any of the Arrays other_arrays; items are compared using eql?; order from self is preserved:
[0, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 3, 1, 1].difference([1]) # => [0, 2, 3] [0, 1, 2, 3].difference([3, 0], [1, 3]) # => [2] [0, 1, 2].difference([4]) # => [0, 1, 2]
Returns a copy of self if no arguments given.

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.
Returns a new Array whose elements are all those from self for which the block returns false or nil:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2, 'bat'] a1 = a.reject {|element| element.to_s.start_with?('b') } a1 # => [:foo, 2]
Returns a new Enumerator if no block given:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2] a.reject # => #<Enumerator: [:foo, "bar", 2]:reject>
Removes each element for which the block returns a truthy value.
Returns self if any elements removed:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2, 'bat'] a.reject! {|element| element.to_s.start_with?('b') } # => [:foo, 2]
Returns nil if no elements removed.
Returns a new Enumerator if no block given:

[0, 1, 2].include?(2) # => true [0, 1, 2].include?(3) # => false
Returns a new Array containing those elements from self that are not duplicates, the first occurrence always being retained.
With no block given, identifies and omits duplicates using method eql? to compare.
a = [0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2] a.uniq # => [0, 1, 2]
With a block given, calls the block for each element; identifies (using method eql?) and omits duplicate values, that is, those elements for which the block returns the same value:
a = ['a', 'aa', 'aaa', 'b', 'bb', 'bbb'] a.uniq {|element| element.size } # => ["a", "aa", "aaa"]
Removes duplicate elements from self, the first occurrence always being retained; returns self if any elements removed, nil otherwise.
With no block given, identifies and removes elements using method eql? to compare.
Returns self if any elements removed:
a = [0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2] a.uniq! # => [0, 1, 2]
Returns nil if no elements removed.
With a block given, calls the block for each element; identifies (using method eql?) and removes elements for which the block returns duplicate values.
Returns self if any elements removed:
a = ['a', 'aa', 'aaa', 'b', 'bb', 'bbb'] a.uniq! {|element| element.size } # => ['a', 'aa', 'aaa']
Returns nil if no elements removed.
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:
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

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 false. 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>"
Iterates the given block int times, passing in values from zero to int - 1.
If no block is given, an Enumerator is returned instead.
5.times {|i| print i, " " } #=> 0 1 2 3 4
Returns int 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 self when ndigits is zero or positive.
1.round #=> 1 1.round(2) #=> 1 15.round(-1) #=> 20 (-15).round(-1) #=> -20
The optional half keyword argument is available similar to Float#round.
