Results for: "match"

Raised when attempting to convert special float values (in particular Infinity or NaN) to numerical classes which don’t support them.

Float::INFINITY.to_r   #=> FloatDomainError: Infinity

Provides mathematical functions.

Example:

require "bigdecimal/math"

include BigMath

a = BigDecimal((PI(100)/2).to_s)
puts sin(a,100) # => 0.99999999999999999999......e0

The Benchmark module provides methods to measure and report the time used to execute Ruby code.

• Measure the time to construct the string given by the expression "a"*1_000_000_000:

  require 'benchmark'
  
  puts Benchmark.measure { "a"*1_000_000_000 }
  

  On my machine (OSX 10.8.3 on i5 1.7 GHz) this generates:

  0.350000   0.400000   0.750000 (  0.835234)

  This report shows the user CPU time, system CPU time, the sum of the user and system CPU times, and the elapsed real time. The unit of time is seconds.

• Do some experiments sequentially using the bm method:

  require 'benchmark'
  
  n = 5000000
  Benchmark.bm do |x|
    x.report { for i in 1..n; a = "1"; end }
    x.report { n.times do   ; a = "1"; end }
    x.report { 1.upto(n) do ; a = "1"; end }
  end
  

  The result:

      user     system      total        real
  1.010000   0.000000   1.010000 (  1.014479)
  1.000000   0.000000   1.000000 (  0.998261)
  0.980000   0.000000   0.980000 (  0.981335)

• Continuing the previous example, put a label in each report:

  require 'benchmark'
  
  n = 5000000
  Benchmark.bm(7) do |x|
    x.report("for:")   { for i in 1..n; a = "1"; end }
    x.report("times:") { n.times do   ; a = "1"; end }
    x.report("upto:")  { 1.upto(n) do ; a = "1"; end }
  end
  

The result:

              user     system      total        real
for:      1.010000   0.000000   1.010000 (  1.015688)
times:    1.000000   0.000000   1.000000 (  1.003611)
upto:     1.030000   0.000000   1.030000 (  1.028098)

• The times for some benchmarks depend on the order in which items are run. These differences are due to the cost of memory allocation and garbage collection. To avoid these discrepancies, the bmbm method is provided. For example, to compare ways to sort an array of floats:

  require 'benchmark'
  
  array = (1..1000000).map { rand }
  
  Benchmark.bmbm do |x|
    x.report("sort!") { array.dup.sort! }
    x.report("sort")  { array.dup.sort  }
  end
  

  The result:

  Rehearsal -----------------------------------------
  sort!   1.490000   0.010000   1.500000 (  1.490520)
  sort    1.460000   0.000000   1.460000 (  1.463025)
  -------------------------------- total: 2.960000sec
  
              user     system      total        real
  sort!   1.460000   0.000000   1.460000 (  1.460465)
  sort    1.450000   0.010000   1.460000 (  1.448327)

• Report statistics of sequential experiments with unique labels, using the benchmark method:

  require 'benchmark'
  include Benchmark         # we need the CAPTION and FORMAT constants
  
  n = 5000000
  Benchmark.benchmark(CAPTION, 7, FORMAT, ">total:", ">avg:") do |x|
    tf = x.report("for:")   { for i in 1..n; a = "1"; end }
    tt = x.report("times:") { n.times do   ; a = "1"; end }
    tu = x.report("upto:")  { 1.upto(n) do ; a = "1"; end }
    [tf+tt+tu, (tf+tt+tu)/3]
  end
  

  The result:

               user     system      total        real
  for:      0.950000   0.000000   0.950000 (  0.952039)
  times:    0.980000   0.000000   0.980000 (  0.984938)
  upto:     0.950000   0.000000   0.950000 (  0.946787)
  >total:   2.880000   0.000000   2.880000 (  2.883764)
  >avg:     0.960000   0.000000   0.960000 (  0.961255)

mkmf.rb is used by Ruby C extensions to generate a Makefile which will correctly compile and link the C extension to Ruby and a third-party library.

The Math module contains module functions for basic trigonometric and transcendental functions. See class Float for a list of constants that define Ruby’s floating point accuracy.

Domains and codomains are given only for real (not complex) numbers.

Generated when trying to lookup a gem to indicate that the gem was found, but that it isn’t usable on the current platform.

Raised when a gem dependencies file specifies a ruby version that does not match the current version.

The DidYouMean::Formatter is the basic, default formatter for the gem. The formatter responds to the message_for method and it returns a human readable string.

Default formatter for log messages.

Individual switch class. Not important to the user.

Defined within Switch are several Switch-derived classes: NoArgument, RequiredArgument, etc.

The command manager registers and installs all the individual sub-commands supported by the gem command.

Extra commands can be provided by writing a rubygems_plugin.rb file in an installed gem. You should register your command against the Gem::CommandManager instance, like this:

# file rubygems_plugin.rb
require 'rubygems/command_manager'

Gem::CommandManager.instance.register_command :edit

You should put the implementation of your command in rubygems/commands.

# file rubygems/commands/edit_command.rb
class Gem::Commands::EditCommand < Gem::Command
  # ...
end

See Gem::Command for instructions on writing gem commands.
