HTTPGenericRequest
is the parent of the Net::HTTPRequest
class. Do not use this directly; use a subclass of Net::HTTPRequest
.
Mixes in the Net::HTTPHeader
module to provide easier access to HTTP headers.
Gem::StreamUI
implements a simple stream based user interface.
Used to construct C classes (CUnion
, CStruct
, etc)
Fiddle::Importer#struct
and Fiddle::Importer#union
wrap this functionality in an easy-to-use manner.
Helper methods for both Gem::Installer
and Gem::Uninstaller
Numeric
is the class from which all higher-level numeric classes should inherit.
Numeric
allows instantiation of heap-allocated objects. Other core numeric classes such as Integer
are implemented as immediates, which means that each Integer
is a single immutable object which is always passed by value.
a = 1 1.object_id == a.object_id #=> true
There can only ever be one instance of the integer 1
, for example. Ruby ensures this by preventing instantiation. If duplication is attempted, the same instance is returned.
Integer.new(1) #=> NoMethodError: undefined method `new' for Integer:Class 1.dup #=> 1 1.object_id == 1.dup.object_id #=> true
For this reason, Numeric
should be used when defining other numeric classes.
Classes which inherit from Numeric
must implement coerce
, which returns a two-member Array
containing an object that has been coerced into an instance of the new class and self
(see coerce
).
Inheriting classes should also implement arithmetic operator methods (+
, -
, *
and /
) and the <=>
operator (see Comparable
). These methods may rely on coerce
to ensure interoperability with instances of other numeric classes.
class Tally < Numeric def initialize(string) @string = string end def to_s @string end def to_i @string.size end def coerce(other) [self.class.new('|' * other.to_i), self] end def <=>(other) to_i <=> other.to_i end def +(other) self.class.new('|' * (to_i + other.to_i)) end def -(other) self.class.new('|' * (to_i - other.to_i)) end def *(other) self.class.new('|' * (to_i * other.to_i)) end def /(other) self.class.new('|' * (to_i / other.to_i)) end end tally = Tally.new('||') puts tally * 2 #=> "||||" puts tally > 1 #=> true
First, what’s elsewhere. Class Numeric:
Inherits from class Object.
Includes module Comparable.
Here, class Numeric provides methods for:
finite?
Returns true unless self
is infinite or not a number.
infinite?
Returns -1, nil
or +1, depending on whether self
is -Infinity<tt>, finite, or <tt>+Infinity
.
integer?
Returns whether self
is an integer.
negative?
Returns whether self
is negative.
nonzero?
Returns whether self
is not zero.
positive?
Returns whether self
is positive.
real?
Returns whether self
is a real value.
zero?
Returns whether self
is zero.
Returns:
-1 if self
is less than the given value.
0 if self
is equal to the given value.
1 if self
is greater than the given value.
nil
if self
and the given value are not comparable.
eql?
Returns whether self
and the given value have the same value and type.
-@
Returns the value of self
, negated.
abs2
Returns the square of self
.
ceil
Returns the smallest number greater than or equal to self
, to a given precision.
coerce
Returns array [coerced_self, coerced_other]
for the given other value.
denominator
Returns the denominator (always positive) of the Rational
representation of self
.
div
Returns the value of self
divided by the given value and converted to an integer.
divmod
Returns array [quotient, modulus]
resulting from dividing self
the given divisor.
floor
Returns the largest number less than or equal to self
, to a given precision.
polar
Returns the array [self.abs, self.arg]
.
quo
Returns the value of self
divided by the given value.
real
Returns the real part of self
.
rect
(aliased as rectangular
)
Returns the array [self, 0]
.
remainder
Returns self-arg*(self/arg).truncate
for the given arg
.
round
Returns the value of self
rounded to the nearest value for the given a precision.
truncate
Returns self
truncated (toward zero) to a given precision.
Raised to stop the iteration, in particular by Enumerator#next
. It is rescued by Kernel#loop
.
loop do puts "Hello" raise StopIteration puts "World" end puts "Done!"
produces:
Hello Done!
Raised by exit
to initiate the termination of the script.
The most standard error types are subclasses of StandardError
. A rescue clause without an explicit Exception
class will rescue all StandardErrors (and only those).
def foo raise "Oups" end foo rescue "Hello" #=> "Hello"
On the other hand:
require 'does/not/exist' rescue "Hi"
raises the exception:
LoadError: no such file to load -- does/not/exist
No longer used by internal code.
SystemCallError
is the base class for all low-level platform-dependent errors.
The errors available on the current platform are subclasses of SystemCallError
and are defined in the Errno
module.
File.open("does/not/exist")
raises the exception:
Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory - does/not/exist
IPAddr
provides a set of methods to manipulate an IP address. Both IPv4 and IPv6 are supported.
require 'ipaddr' ipaddr1 = IPAddr.new "3ffe:505:2::1" p ipaddr1 #=> #<IPAddr: IPv6:3ffe:0505:0002:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001/ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff> p ipaddr1.to_s #=> "3ffe:505:2::1" ipaddr2 = ipaddr1.mask(48) #=> #<IPAddr: IPv6:3ffe:0505:0002:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000/ffff:ffff:ffff:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000> p ipaddr2.to_s #=> "3ffe:505:2::" ipaddr3 = IPAddr.new "192.168.2.0/24" p ipaddr3 #=> #<IPAddr: IPv4:192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0>
This class implements a pretty printing algorithm. It finds line breaks and nice indentations for grouped structure.
By default, the class assumes that primitive elements are strings and each byte in the strings have single column in width. But it can be used for other situations by giving suitable arguments for some methods:
newline object and space generation block for PrettyPrint.new
optional width argument for PrettyPrint#text
There are several candidate uses:
text formatting using proportional fonts
multibyte characters which has columns different to number of bytes
non-string formatting
Box based formatting?
Other (better) model/algorithm?
