Returns true if the named file exists and is a regular file.

file can be an IO object.

If the file argument is a symbolic link, it will resolve the symbolic link and use the file referenced by the link.

Returns true for dummy encodings. A dummy encoding is an encoding for which character handling is not properly implemented. It is used for stateful encodings.

Encoding::ISO_2022_JP.dummy?       #=> true
Encoding::UTF_8.dummy?             #=> false

Returns the return value of the iterator.

o = Object.new
def o.each
  yield 1
  yield 2
  yield 3
  100
end

e = o.to_enum

puts e.next                   #=> 1
puts e.next                   #=> 2
puts e.next                   #=> 3

begin
  e.next
rescue StopIteration => ex
  puts ex.result              #=> 100
end

Returns the number of decimal digits following the decimal digits in self.

BigDecimal("0").scale         # => 0
BigDecimal("1").scale         # => 1
BigDecimal("1.1").scale       # => 1
BigDecimal("3.1415").scale    # => 4
BigDecimal("-1e20").precision # => 0
BigDecimal("1e-20").precision # => 20
BigDecimal("Infinity").scale  # => 0
BigDecimal("-Infinity").scale # => 0
BigDecimal("NaN").scale       # => 0

Returns the BigDecimal product of self and value with a precision of ndigits decimal digits.

When ndigits is less than the number of significant digits in the sum, the sum is rounded to that number of digits, according to the current rounding mode; see BigDecimal.mode.

Examples:

# Set the rounding mode.
BigDecimal.mode(BigDecimal::ROUND_MODE, :half_up)
b = BigDecimal('555555.555')
b.mult(3, 0)              # => 0.1666666665e7
b.mult(3, 3)              # => 0.167e7
b.mult(3, 6)              # => 0.166667e7
b.mult(3, 15)             # => 0.1666666665e7
b.mult(3.0, 0)            # => 0.1666666665e7
b.mult(Rational(3, 1), 0) # => 0.1666666665e7
b.mult(Complex(3, 0), 0)  # => (0.1666666665e7+0.0i)

Returns a string representing the marshalling of self. See module Marshal.

inf = BigDecimal('Infinity') # => Infinity
dumped = inf._dump           # => "9:Infinity"
BigDecimal._load(dumped)     # => Infinity

Returns true if the given year is a leap year of the proleptic Gregorian calendar.

Date.gregorian_leap?(1900)        #=> false
Date.gregorian_leap?(2000)        #=> true

Creates a date object denoting the present day.

Date.today   #=> #<Date: 2011-06-11 ...>

Returns true if the date is before the day of calendar reform.

Date.new(1582,10,15).julian?             #=> false
(Date.new(1582,10,15) - 1).julian?       #=> true

Returns true if the year is a leap year.

Date.new(2000).leap?      #=> true
Date.new(2001).leap?      #=> false

This method is equivalent to new_start(Date::JULIAN).

Returns the number of members.

Customer = Struct.new(:name, :address, :zip)
joe = Customer.new("Joe Smith", "123 Maple, Anytown NC", 12345)
joe.size #=> 3

Struct#length is an alias for Struct#size.

Returns the integer file descriptor for the stream:

$stdin.fileno             # => 0
$stdout.fileno            # => 1
$stderr.fileno            # => 2
File.open('t.txt').fileno # => 10

IO#to_i is an alias for IO#fileno.

Alias for Regexp.new

Removes all elements and returns self.

set = Set[1, 'c', :s]             #=> #<Set: {1, "c", :s}>
set.clear                         #=> #<Set: {}>
set                               #=> #<Set: {}>

Deletes the given object from the set and returns self. Use subtract to delete many items at once.

Deletes the given object from the set and returns self. If the object is not in the set, returns nil.

Same as sym.to_s.length.

Returns clean pathname of self with consecutive slashes and useless dots removed. The filesystem is not accessed.

If consider_symlink is true, then a more conservative algorithm is used to avoid breaking symbolic linkages. This may retain more .. entries than absolutely necessary, but without accessing the filesystem, this can’t be avoided.
