Returns the numerator.
Rational(7).numerator #=> 7 Rational(7, 1).numerator #=> 7 Rational(9, -4).numerator #=> -9 Rational(-2, -10).numerator #=> 1

Returns true if rat is less than 0.
Returns the absolute value of rat.

Rational#magnitude is an alias for Rational#abs.
Returns rat truncated (toward zero) to a precision of ndigits decimal digits (default: 0).
When the precision is negative, the returned value is an integer with at least ndigits.abs trailing zeros.
Returns a rational when ndigits is positive, otherwise returns an integer.

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.

Date.httpdate('Sat, 03 Feb 2001 00:00:00 GMT') #=> #<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.
Returns true if the date is Saturday.
This method is equivalent to strftime(‘%a, %d %b %Y %T GMT’). See also RFC 2616.
Creates a new DateTime object by parsing from a string according to some RFC 2616 format.
DateTime.httpdate('Sat, 03 Feb 2001 04:05:06 GMT') #=> #<DateTime: 2001-02-03T04:05:06+00:00 ...>
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.
Parses date as an HTTP-date defined by RFC 2616 and converts it to a Time object.
ArgumentError is raised if date is not compliant with RFC 2616 or if the Time class cannot represent specified date.
See httpdate for more information on this format.
require 'time' Time.httpdate("Thu, 06 Oct 2011 02:26:12 GMT") #=> 2011-10-06 02:26:12 UTC
You must require ‘time’ to use this method.
Returns a string which represents the time as RFC 1123 date of HTTP-date defined by RFC 2616:
day-of-week, DD month-name CCYY hh:mm:ss GMT
Note that the result is always UTC (GMT).
require 'time' t = Time.now t.httpdate # => "Thu, 06 Oct 2011 02:26:12 GMT"
You must require ‘time’ to use this method.
