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.
The primary interface to this library. Use to setup delegation when defining your class.
class MyClass < DelegateClass(ClassToDelegateTo) # Step 1 def initialize super(obj_of_ClassToDelegateTo) # Step 2 end end
or:
MyClass = DelegateClass(ClassToDelegateTo) do # Step 1 def initialize super(obj_of_ClassToDelegateTo) # Step 2 end end
Here’s a sample of use from Tempfile which is really a File object with a few special rules about storage location and when the File should be deleted. That makes for an almost textbook perfect example of how to use delegation.
class Tempfile < DelegateClass(File) # constant and class member data initialization... def initialize(basename, tmpdir=Dir::tmpdir) # build up file path/name in var tmpname... @tmpfile = File.open(tmpname, File::RDWR|File::CREAT|File::EXCL, 0600) # ... super(@tmpfile) # below this point, all methods of File are supported... end # ... end
Returns a 1-character string containing the character represented by the value of self, according to the given encoding.
65.chr # => "A" 0..chr # => "\x00" 255.chr # => "\xFF" string = 255.chr(Encoding::UTF_8) string.encoding # => Encoding::UTF_8
Raises an exception if self is negative.
Related: Integer#ord.
Returns self truncated (toward zero) to a precision of ndigits decimal digits.
When ndigits is negative, the returned value has at least ndigits.abs trailing zeros:
555.truncate(-1) # => 550 555.truncate(-2) # => 500 -555.truncate(-2) # => -500
Returns self when ndigits is zero or positive.
555.truncate # => 555 555.truncate(50) # => 555
Related: Integer#round.
Returns the remainder after dividing self by other.
Examples:
11.remainder(4) # => 3 11.remainder(-4) # => 3 -11.remainder(4) # => -3 -11.remainder(-4) # => -3 12.remainder(4) # => 0 12.remainder(-4) # => 0 -12.remainder(4) # => 0 -12.remainder(-4) # => 0 13.remainder(4.0) # => 1.0 13.remainder(Rational(4, 1)) # => (1/1)
Returns self.
Returns 1.
Returns the value as a rational. The optional argument eps is always ignored.
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 the numerator.
1 2 3+4i <- numerator
- + -i -> ----
2 3 6 <- denominator
c = Complex('1/2+2/3i') #=> ((1/2)+(2/3)*i)
n = c.numerator #=> (3+4i)
d = c.denominator #=> 6
n / d #=> ((1/2)+(2/3)*i)
Complex(Rational(n.real, d), Rational(n.imag, d))
#=> ((1/2)+(2/3)*i)
See denominator.
Returns the denominator (lcm of both denominator - real and imag).
See numerator.
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.
Returns zero as a rational. The optional argument eps is always ignored.
Returns zero.
Returns zero.
Returns self.
Returns the remainder after dividing self by other.
Of the Core and Standard Library classes, only Float and Rational use this implementation.
Examples:
11.0.remainder(4) # => 3.0 11.0.remainder(-4) # => 3.0 -11.0.remainder(4) # => -3.0 -11.0.remainder(-4) # => -3.0 12.0.remainder(4) # => 0.0 12.0.remainder(-4) # => 0.0 -12.0.remainder(4) # => -0.0 -12.0.remainder(-4) # => -0.0 13.0.remainder(4.0) # => 1.0 13.0.remainder(Rational(4, 1)) # => 1.0 Rational(13, 1).remainder(4) # => (1/1) Rational(13, 1).remainder(-4) # => (1/1) Rational(-13, 1).remainder(4) # => (-1/1) Rational(-13, 1).remainder(-4) # => (-1/1)
Returns the absolute value of self.
12.abs #=> 12 (-34.56).abs #=> 34.56 -34.56.abs #=> 34.56
Numeric#magnitude is an alias for Numeric#abs.
Returns self truncated (toward zero) to a precision of digits decimal digits.
Numeric implements this by converting self to a Float and invoking Float#truncate.
Returns true if self is less than 0, false otherwise.
Returns the numerator.
