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 the remainder after dividing int by numeric.
x.remainder(y) means x-y*(x/y).truncate.
5.remainder(3) #=> 2 -5.remainder(3) #=> -2 5.remainder(-3) #=> 2 -5.remainder(-3) #=> -2 5.remainder(1.5) #=> 0.5
See Numeric#divmod.
Returns the imaginary part.
Complex(7).imaginary #=> 0 Complex(9, -4).imaginary #=> -4
Returns the absolute part of its polar form.
Complex(-1).abs #=> 1 Complex(3.0, -4.0).abs #=> 5.0
Returns zero.
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 a Matchdata object (or nil) based on self and the given pattern.
Note: also updates Regexp-related global variables.
Computes regexp by converting pattern (if not already a Regexp).
regexp = Regexp.new(pattern)
Computes matchdata, which will be either a MatchData object or nil (see Regexp#match):
matchdata = <tt>regexp.match(self)
With no block given, returns the computed matchdata:
'foo'.match('f') # => #<MatchData "f"> 'foo'.match('o') # => #<MatchData "o"> 'foo'.match('x') # => nil
If Integer argument offset is given, the search begins at index offset:
'foo'.match('f', 1) # => nil 'foo'.match('o', 1) # => #<MatchData "o">
With a block given, calls the block with the computed matchdata and returns the block’s return value:
'foo'.match(/o/) {|matchdata| matchdata } # => #<MatchData "o"> 'foo'.match(/x/) {|matchdata| matchdata } # => nil 'foo'.match(/f/, 1) {|matchdata| matchdata } # => nil
Returns true or false based on whether a match is found for self and pattern.
Note: does not update Regexp-related global variables.
Computes regexp by converting pattern (if not already a Regexp).
regexp = Regexp.new(pattern)
Returns true if self+.match(regexp) returns a Matchdata object, false otherwise:
'foo'.match?(/o/) # => true 'foo'.match?('o') # => true 'foo'.match?(/x/) # => false
If Integer argument offset is given, the search begins at index offset:
'foo'.match?('f', 1) # => false 'foo'.match?('o', 1) # => true
Returns the absolute value of float.
(-34.56).abs #=> 34.56 -34.56.abs #=> 34.56 34.56.abs #=> 34.56
Float#magnitude is an alias for Float#abs.
Returns true if path matches against pattern. The pattern is not a regular expression; instead it follows rules similar to shell filename globbing. It may contain the following metacharacters:
*
Matches any file. Can be restricted by other values in the glob. Equivalent to / .* /x in regexp.
*
Matches all files regular files
c*
Matches all files beginning with c
*c
Matches all files ending with c
*c*
Matches all files that have c in them (including at the beginning or end).
To match hidden files (that start with a . set the File::FNM_DOTMATCH flag.
**
Matches directories recursively or files expansively.
?
Matches any one character. Equivalent to /.{1}/ in regexp.
[set]
Matches any one character in set. Behaves exactly like character sets in Regexp, including set negation ([^a-z]).
\
Escapes the next metacharacter.
{a,b}
Matches pattern a and pattern b if File::FNM_EXTGLOB flag is enabled. Behaves like a Regexp union ((?:a|b)).
flags is a bitwise OR of the FNM_XXX constants. The same glob pattern and flags are used by Dir::glob.

Returns the current umask value for this process. If the optional argument is given, set the umask to that value and return the previous value. Umask values are subtracted from the default permissions, so a umask of 0222 would make a file read-only for everyone.
File.umask(0006) #=> 18 File.umask #=> 6
Returns the remainder from dividing by the value.
x.remainder(y) means x-y*(x/y).truncate
Returns the absolute value of rat.
(1/2r).abs #=> (1/2) (-1/2r).abs #=> (1/2)
Rational#magnitude is an alias for Rational#abs.
Returns a hash of parsed elements.
Raise an ArgumentError when the string length is longer than limit. You can stop this check by passing ‘limit: nil`, but note that it may take a long time to parse.
Creates a new Date object by parsing from a string according to some typical XML Schema formats.
Date.xmlschema('2001-02-03') #=> #<Date: 2001-02-03 ...>
Raise an ArgumentError when the string length is longer than limit. You can stop this check by passing ‘limit: nil`, but note that it may take a long time to parse.
This method is equivalent to strftime(‘%F’).
Creates a new DateTime object by parsing from a string according to some typical XML Schema formats.
DateTime.xmlschema('2001-02-03T04:05:06+07:00') #=> #<DateTime: 2001-02-03T04:05:06+07:00 ...>
Raise an ArgumentError when the string length is longer than limit. You can stop this check by passing ‘limit: nil`, but note that it may take a long time to parse.
This method is equivalent to strftime(‘%FT%T%:z’). The optional argument n is the number of digits for fractional seconds.
DateTime.parse('2001-02-03T04:05:06.123456789+07:00').iso8601(9) #=> "2001-02-03T04:05:06.123456789+07:00"
Parses time as a dateTime defined by the XML Schema and converts it to a Time object. The format is a restricted version of the format defined by ISO 8601.
ArgumentError is raised if time is not compliant with the format or if the Time class cannot represent the specified time.
See xmlschema for more information on this format.
require 'time' Time.xmlschema("2011-10-05T22:26:12-04:00") #=> 2011-10-05 22:26:12-04:00
You must require ‘time’ to use this method.
Returns a string which represents the time as a dateTime defined by XML Schema:
CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssTZD CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sssTZD
where TZD is Z or [+-]hh:mm.
If self is a UTC time, Z is used as TZD. [+-]hh:mm is used otherwise.
fractional_digits specifies a number of digits to use for fractional seconds. Its default value is 0.
require 'time' t = Time.now t.iso8601 # => "2011-10-05T22:26:12-04:00"
You must require ‘time’ to use this method.
