Import a JSON Marshalled object.

method used for JSON marshalling support.

Deserializes JSON string by converting numerator value n, denominator value d, to a Rational object.

Synonym for ENV.

Returns the fractional part of the day.

DateTime.new(2001,2,3,12).day_fraction    #=> (1/2)

Duplicates self and resets its day of calendar reform.

d = Date.new(1582,10,15)
d.new_start(Date::JULIAN)         #=> #<Date: 1582-10-05 ...>

This method is equivalent to d + n.

This method is equivalent to d - n.

Deserializes JSON string by converting Julian year y, month m, day d and Day of Calendar Reform sg to Date.

Deserializes JSON string by converting year y, month m, day d, hour H, minute M, second S, offset of and Day of Calendar Reform sg to DateTime.

Deserializes JSON string by converting time since epoch to Time

Deserializes JSON string by constructing new Struct object with values v serialized by to_json.

Returns an array of values from self.

With integer arguments integers given, returns an array containing each value given by one of integers:

Customer = Struct.new(:name, :address, :zip)
joe = Customer.new("Joe Smith", "123 Maple, Anytown NC", 12345)
joe.values_at(0, 2)    # => ["Joe Smith", 12345]
joe.values_at(2, 0)    # => [12345, "Joe Smith"]
joe.values_at(2, 1, 0) # => [12345, "123 Maple, Anytown NC", "Joe Smith"]
joe.values_at(0, -3)   # => ["Joe Smith", "Joe Smith"]

Raises IndexError if any of integers is out of range; see Array Indexes.

With integer range argument integer_range given, returns an array containing each value given by the elements of the range; fills with nil values for range elements larger than the structure:

joe.values_at(0..2)
# => ["Joe Smith", "123 Maple, Anytown NC", 12345]
joe.values_at(-3..-1)
# => ["Joe Smith", "123 Maple, Anytown NC", 12345]
joe.values_at(1..4) # => ["123 Maple, Anytown NC", 12345, nil, nil]

Raises RangeError if any element of the range is negative and out of range; see Array Indexes.

Waits until IO is readable and returns true, or false when times out. Returns true immediately when buffered data is available.

Waits until IO is writable and returns true or false when times out.

Deserializes JSON string by constructing new Struct object with values t serialized by to_json.

Deserializes JSON string by constructing new Range object with arguments a serialized by to_json.

Deserializes JSON string by constructing new Regexp object with source s (Regexp or String) and options o serialized by to_json

The first form returns the MatchData object generated by the last successful pattern match. Equivalent to reading the special global variable $~ (see Special global variables in Regexp for details).

The second form returns the nth field in this MatchData object. n can be a string or symbol to reference a named capture.

Note that the last_match is local to the thread and method scope of the method that did the pattern match.

/c(.)t/ =~ 'cat'        #=> 0
Regexp.last_match       #=> #<MatchData "cat" 1:"a">
Regexp.last_match(0)    #=> "cat"
Regexp.last_match(1)    #=> "a"
Regexp.last_match(2)    #=> nil

/(?<lhs>\w+)\s*=\s*(?<rhs>\w+)/ =~ "var = val"
Regexp.last_match       #=> #<MatchData "var = val" lhs:"var" rhs:"val">
Regexp.last_match(:lhs) #=> "var"
Regexp.last_match(:rhs) #=> "val"

Import a JSON Marshalled object.

method used for JSON marshalling support.

Deserializes JSON string by converting the string value stored in the object to a Symbol

Returns true if sym starts with one of the prefixes given. Each of the prefixes should be a String or a Regexp.

:hello.start_with?("hell")               #=> true
:hello.start_with?(/H/i)                 #=> true

# returns true if one of the prefixes matches.
:hello.start_with?("heaven", "hell")     #=> true
:hello.start_with?("heaven", "paradise") #=> false
