Sends a PATCH request to the path and gets a response, as an HTTPResponse object.
Sends a PROPPATCH request to the path and gets a response, as an HTTPResponse object.
Returns the element at offset index.
With the single Integer argument index, returns the element at offset index:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2] a.fetch(1) # => "bar"
If index is negative, counts from the end of the array:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2] a.fetch(-1) # => 2 a.fetch(-2) # => "bar"
With arguments index and default_value, returns the element at offset index if index is in range, otherwise returns default_value:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2] a.fetch(1, nil) # => "bar"
With argument index and a block, returns the element at offset index if index is in range (and the block is not called); otherwise calls the block with index and returns its return value:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2] a.fetch(1) {|index| raise 'Cannot happen' } # => "bar" a.fetch(50) {|index| "Value for #{index}" } # => "Value for 50"
Returns a new 2-element Array containing the minimum and maximum values from self, either per method <=> or per a given block:.
When no block is given, each element in self must respond to method <=> with an Integer; returns a new 2-element Array containing the minimum and maximum values from self, per method <=>:
[0, 1, 2].minmax # => [0, 2]
When a block is given, the block must return an Integer; the block is called self.size-1 times to compare elements; returns a new 2-element Array containing the minimum and maximum values from self, per the block:
['0', '00', '000'].minmax {|a, b| a.size <=> b.size } # => ["0", "000"]
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.
Reads and returns a character in raw mode.
See IO#raw for details on the parameters.
You must require ‘io/console’ to use this method.
Returns a 2-element array containing the minimum and maximum value in self, either according to comparison method <=> or a given block.
With no block given, returns the minimum and maximum values, using <=> for comparison:
(1..4).minmax # => [1, 4] (1...4).minmax # => [1, 3] ('a'..'d').minmax # => ["a", "d"] (-4..-1).minmax # => [-4, -1]
With a block given, the block must return an integer:
Negative if a is smaller than b.
Zero if a and b are equal.
Positive if a is larger than b.
The block is called self.size times to compare elements; returns a 2-element Array containing the minimum and maximum values from self, per the block:
(1..4).minmax {|a, b| -(a <=> b) } # => [4, 1]
Returns [nil, nil] if:
The begin value of the range is larger than the end value:
(4..1).minmax # => [nil, nil] (4..1).minmax {|a, b| -(a <=> b) } # => [nil, nil]
The begin value of an exclusive range is equal to the end value:
(1...1).minmax # => [nil, nil] (1...1).minmax {|a, b| -(a <=> b) } # => [nil, nil]
Raises an exception if self is a beginless or an endless range.
Scans one character and returns it. This method is multibyte character sensitive.
s = StringScanner.new("ab") s.getch # => "a" s.getch # => "b" s.getch # => nil s = StringScanner.new("\244\242".force_encoding("euc-jp")) s.getch # => "\x{A4A2}" # Japanese hira-kana "A" in EUC-JP s.getch # => nil
Returns the value for the given key, if found.
h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2} h.fetch(:bar) # => 1
If key is not found and no block was given, returns default_value:
{}.fetch(:nosuch, :default) # => :default
If key is not found and a block was given, yields key to the block and returns the block’s return value:
{}.fetch(:nosuch) {|key| "No key #{key}"} # => "No key nosuch"
Raises KeyError if neither default_value nor a block was given.
Note that this method does not use the values of either default or default_proc.
If name is the name of an environment variable, returns its value:
ENV['foo'] = '0' ENV.fetch('foo') # => '0'
Otherwise if a block is given (but not a default value), yields name to the block and returns the block’s return value:
ENV.fetch('foo') { |name| :need_not_return_a_string } # => :need_not_return_a_string
Otherwise if a default value is given (but not a block), returns the default value:
ENV.delete('foo') ENV.fetch('foo', :default_need_not_be_a_string) # => :default_need_not_be_a_string
If the environment variable does not exist and both default and block are given, issues a warning (“warning: block supersedes default value argument”), yields name to the block, and returns the block’s return value:
ENV.fetch('foo', :default) { |name| :block_return } # => :block_return
Raises KeyError if name is valid, but not found, and neither default value nor block is given:
ENV.fetch('foo') # Raises KeyError (key not found: "foo")
Raises an exception if name is invalid. See Invalid Names and Values.
This is a convenience method which is same as follows:
begin q = PrettyPrint.new(output, maxwidth, newline, &genspace) ... q.flush output end
This method is just like PStore#[], save that you may also provide a default value for the object. In the event the specified name is not found in the data store, your default will be returned instead. If you do not specify a default, PStore::Error will be raised if the object is not found.
WARNING: This method is only valid in a PStore#transaction. It will raise PStore::Error if called at any other time.
Returns a fiber-local for the given key. If the key can’t be found, there are several options: With no other arguments, it will raise a KeyError exception; if default is given, then that will be returned; if the optional code block is specified, then that will be run and its result returned. See Thread#[] and Hash#fetch.
Returns the string resulting from applying format_string to any additional arguments. Within the format string, any characters other than format sequences are copied to the result.
The syntax of a format sequence is as follows.
%[flags][width][.precision]type
A format sequence consists of a percent sign, followed by optional flags, width, and precision indicators, then terminated with a field type character. The field type controls how the corresponding sprintf argument is to be interpreted, while the flags modify that interpretation.
The field type characters are:
Field | Integer Format
------+--------------------------------------------------------------
b | Convert argument as a binary number.
| Negative numbers will be displayed as a two's complement
| prefixed with `..1'.
B | Equivalent to `b', but uses an uppercase 0B for prefix
| in the alternative format by #.
d | Convert argument as a decimal number.
i | Identical to `d'.
o | Convert argument as an octal number.
| Negative numbers will be displayed as a two's complement
| prefixed with `..7'.
u | Identical to `d'.
x | Convert argument as a hexadecimal number.
| Negative numbers will be displayed as a two's complement
| prefixed with `..f' (representing an infinite string of
| leading 'ff's).
X | Equivalent to `x', but uses uppercase letters.
Field | Float Format
------+--------------------------------------------------------------
e | Convert floating point argument into exponential notation
| with one digit before the decimal point as [-]d.dddddde[+-]dd.
| The precision specifies the number of digits after the decimal
| point (defaulting to six).
E | Equivalent to `e', but uses an uppercase E to indicate
| the exponent.
f | Convert floating point argument as [-]ddd.dddddd,
| where the precision specifies the number of digits after
| the decimal point.
g | Convert a floating point number using exponential form
| if the exponent is less than -4 or greater than or
| equal to the precision, or in dd.dddd form otherwise.
| The precision specifies the number of significant digits.
G | Equivalent to `g', but use an uppercase `E' in exponent form.
a | Convert floating point argument as [-]0xh.hhhhp[+-]dd,
| which is consisted from optional sign, "0x", fraction part
| as hexadecimal, "p", and exponential part as decimal.
A | Equivalent to `a', but use uppercase `X' and `P'.
Field | Other Format
------+--------------------------------------------------------------
c | Argument is the numeric code for a single character or
| a single character string itself.
p | The valuing of argument.inspect.
s | Argument is a string to be substituted. If the format
| sequence contains a precision, at most that many characters
| will be copied.
% | A percent sign itself will be displayed. No argument taken.
The flags modifies the behavior of the formats. The flag characters are:
Flag | Applies to | Meaning
---------+---------------+-----------------------------------------
space | bBdiouxX | Leave a space at the start of
| aAeEfgG | non-negative numbers.
| (numeric fmt) | For `o', `x', `X', `b' and `B', use
| | a minus sign with absolute value for
| | negative values.
---------+---------------+-----------------------------------------
(digit)$ | all | Specifies the absolute argument number
| | for this field. Absolute and relative
| | argument numbers cannot be mixed in a
| | sprintf string.
---------+---------------+-----------------------------------------
# | bBoxX | Use an alternative format.
| aAeEfgG | For the conversions `o', increase the precision
| | until the first digit will be `0' if
| | it is not formatted as complements.
| | For the conversions `x', `X', `b' and `B'
| | on non-zero, prefix the result with ``0x'',
| | ``0X'', ``0b'' and ``0B'', respectively.
| | For `a', `A', `e', `E', `f', `g', and 'G',
| | force a decimal point to be added,
| | even if no digits follow.
| | For `g' and 'G', do not remove trailing zeros.
---------+---------------+-----------------------------------------
+ | bBdiouxX | Add a leading plus sign to non-negative
| aAeEfgG | numbers.
| (numeric fmt) | For `o', `x', `X', `b' and `B', use
| | a minus sign with absolute value for
| | negative values.
---------+---------------+-----------------------------------------
- | all | Left-justify the result of this conversion.
---------+---------------+-----------------------------------------
0 (zero) | bBdiouxX | Pad with zeros, not spaces.
| aAeEfgG | For `o', `x', `X', `b' and `B', radix-1
| (numeric fmt) | is used for negative numbers formatted as
| | complements.
---------+---------------+-----------------------------------------
* | all | Use the next argument as the field width.
| | If negative, left-justify the result. If the
| | asterisk is followed by a number and a dollar
| | sign, use the indicated argument as the width.
Examples of flags:
# `+' and space flag specifies the sign of non-negative numbers. sprintf("%d", 123) #=> "123" sprintf("%+d", 123) #=> "+123" sprintf("% d", 123) #=> " 123" # `#' flag for `o' increases number of digits to show `0'. # `+' and space flag changes format of negative numbers. sprintf("%o", 123) #=> "173" sprintf("%#o", 123) #=> "0173" sprintf("%+o", -123) #=> "-173" sprintf("%o", -123) #=> "..7605" sprintf("%#o", -123) #=> "..7605" # `#' flag for `x' add a prefix `0x' for non-zero numbers. # `+' and space flag disables complements for negative numbers. sprintf("%x", 123) #=> "7b" sprintf("%#x", 123) #=> "0x7b" sprintf("%+x", -123) #=> "-7b" sprintf("%x", -123) #=> "..f85" sprintf("%#x", -123) #=> "0x..f85" sprintf("%#x", 0) #=> "0" # `#' for `X' uses the prefix `0X'. sprintf("%X", 123) #=> "7B" sprintf("%#X", 123) #=> "0X7B" # `#' flag for `b' add a prefix `0b' for non-zero numbers. # `+' and space flag disables complements for negative numbers. sprintf("%b", 123) #=> "1111011" sprintf("%#b", 123) #=> "0b1111011" sprintf("%+b", -123) #=> "-1111011" sprintf("%b", -123) #=> "..10000101" sprintf("%#b", -123) #=> "0b..10000101" sprintf("%#b", 0) #=> "0" # `#' for `B' uses the prefix `0B'. sprintf("%B", 123) #=> "1111011" sprintf("%#B", 123) #=> "0B1111011" # `#' for `e' forces to show the decimal point. sprintf("%.0e", 1) #=> "1e+00" sprintf("%#.0e", 1) #=> "1.e+00" # `#' for `f' forces to show the decimal point. sprintf("%.0f", 1234) #=> "1234" sprintf("%#.0f", 1234) #=> "1234." # `#' for `g' forces to show the decimal point. # It also disables stripping lowest zeros. sprintf("%g", 123.4) #=> "123.4" sprintf("%#g", 123.4) #=> "123.400" sprintf("%g", 123456) #=> "123456" sprintf("%#g", 123456) #=> "123456."
The field width is an optional integer, followed optionally by a period and a precision. The width specifies the minimum number of characters that will be written to the result for this field.
Examples of width:
# padding is done by spaces, width=20 # 0 or radix-1. <------------------> sprintf("%20d", 123) #=> " 123" sprintf("%+20d", 123) #=> " +123" sprintf("%020d", 123) #=> "00000000000000000123" sprintf("%+020d", 123) #=> "+0000000000000000123" sprintf("% 020d", 123) #=> " 0000000000000000123" sprintf("%-20d", 123) #=> "123 " sprintf("%-+20d", 123) #=> "+123 " sprintf("%- 20d", 123) #=> " 123 " sprintf("%020x", -123) #=> "..ffffffffffffffff85"
For numeric fields, the precision controls the number of decimal places displayed. For string fields, the precision determines the maximum number of characters to be copied from the string. (Thus, the format sequence %10.10s will always contribute exactly ten characters to the result.)
Examples of precisions:
# precision for `d', 'o', 'x' and 'b' is # minimum number of digits <------> sprintf("%20.8d", 123) #=> " 00000123" sprintf("%20.8o", 123) #=> " 00000173" sprintf("%20.8x", 123) #=> " 0000007b" sprintf("%20.8b", 123) #=> " 01111011" sprintf("%20.8d", -123) #=> " -00000123" sprintf("%20.8o", -123) #=> " ..777605" sprintf("%20.8x", -123) #=> " ..ffff85" sprintf("%20.8b", -11) #=> " ..110101" # "0x" and "0b" for `#x' and `#b' is not counted for # precision but "0" for `#o' is counted. <------> sprintf("%#20.8d", 123) #=> " 00000123" sprintf("%#20.8o", 123) #=> " 00000173" sprintf("%#20.8x", 123) #=> " 0x0000007b" sprintf("%#20.8b", 123) #=> " 0b01111011" sprintf("%#20.8d", -123) #=> " -00000123" sprintf("%#20.8o", -123) #=> " ..777605" sprintf("%#20.8x", -123) #=> " 0x..ffff85" sprintf("%#20.8b", -11) #=> " 0b..110101" # precision for `e' is number of # digits after the decimal point <------> sprintf("%20.8e", 1234.56789) #=> " 1.23456789e+03" # precision for `f' is number of # digits after the decimal point <------> sprintf("%20.8f", 1234.56789) #=> " 1234.56789000" # precision for `g' is number of # significant digits <-------> sprintf("%20.8g", 1234.56789) #=> " 1234.5679" # <-------> sprintf("%20.8g", 123456789) #=> " 1.2345679e+08" # precision for `s' is # maximum number of characters <------> sprintf("%20.8s", "string test") #=> " string t"
Examples:
sprintf("%d %04x", 123, 123) #=> "123 007b" sprintf("%08b '%4s'", 123, 123) #=> "01111011 ' 123'" sprintf("%1$*2$s %2$d %1$s", "hello", 8) #=> " hello 8 hello" sprintf("%1$*2$s %2$d", "hello", -8) #=> "hello -8" sprintf("%+g:% g:%-g", 1.23, 1.23, 1.23) #=> "+1.23: 1.23:1.23" sprintf("%u", -123) #=> "-123"
For more complex formatting, Ruby supports a reference by name. %<name>s style uses format style, but %{name} style doesn’t.
Examples:
sprintf("%<foo>d : %<bar>f", { :foo => 1, :bar => 2 }) #=> 1 : 2.000000 sprintf("%{foo}f", { :foo => 1 }) # => "1f"
Returns a 2-element array containing the minimum and maximum elements according to a given criterion. The ordering of equal elements is indeterminate and may be unstable.
With no argument and no block, returns the minimum and maximum elements, using the elements’ own method <=> for comparison:
(1..4).minmax # => [1, 4] (-4..-1).minmax # => [-4, -1] %w[d c b a].minmax # => ["a", "d"] {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}.minmax # => [[:bar, 1], [:foo, 0]] [].minmax # => [nil, nil]
With a block given, returns the minimum and maximum elements as determined by the block:
%w[xxx x xxxx xx].minmax {|a, b| a.size <=> b.size } # => ["x", "xxxx"] h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2} h.minmax {|pair1, pair2| pair1[1] <=> pair2[1] } # => [[:foo, 0], [:baz, 2]] [].minmax {|a, b| a <=> b } # => [nil, nil]
