Works similar to parse except that instead of using a heuristic to detect the format of the input string, you provide a second argument that describes the format of the string.

If a block is given, the year described in date is converted by the block. For example:

Returns a string representation of self, formatted according to the given string format. See Formats for Dates and Times.

Returns an array containing the elements in self, if a finite collection; raises an exception otherwise.

(1..4).to_a     # => [1, 2, 3, 4]
(1...4).to_a    # => [1, 2, 3]
('a'..'d').to_a # => ["a", "b", "c", "d"]

Range#entries is an alias for Range#to_a.

Returns the values in self as an array:

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

Struct#values and Struct#deconstruct are aliases for Struct#to_a.

Related: members.

Return the entries (files and subdirectories) in the directory, each as a Pathname object.

The results contains just the names in the directory, without any trailing slashes or recursive look-up.

pp Pathname.new('/usr/local').entries
#=> [#<Pathname:share>,
#    #<Pathname:lib>,
#    #<Pathname:..>,

#    #<Pathname:sbin>,
#    #<Pathname:src>]

The result may contain the current directory #<Pathname:.> and the parent directory #<Pathname:..>.

If you don’t want . and .. and want directories, consider Pathname#children.

Returns the values in self as an array, to use in pattern matching:

Measure = Data.define(:amount, :unit)

distance = Measure[10, 'km']
distance.deconstruct #=> [10, "km"]

# usage
case distance
in n, 'km' # calls #deconstruct underneath
  puts "It is #{n} kilometers away"
else
  puts "Don't know how to handle it"
end
# prints "It is 10 kilometers away"

Or, with checking the class, too:

case distance
in Measure(n, 'km')
  puts "It is #{n} kilometers away"
# ...
end

m[0]       # => "HX1138"
m.captures # => ["H", "X", "113", "8"]

Returns the priority of thr. Default is inherited from the current thread which creating the new thread, or zero for the initial main thread; higher-priority thread will run more frequently than lower-priority threads (but lower-priority threads can also run).

This is just hint for Ruby thread scheduler. It may be ignored on some platform.

Thread.current.priority   #=> 0

Sets the priority of thr to integer. Higher-priority threads will run more frequently than lower-priority threads (but lower-priority threads can also run).

This is just hint for Ruby thread scheduler. It may be ignored on some platform.

count1 = count2 = 0
a = Thread.new do
      loop { count1 += 1 }
    end
a.priority = -1

b = Thread.new do
      loop { count2 += 1 }
    end
b.priority = -2
sleep 1   #=> 1
count1    #=> 622504
count2    #=> 5832

Returns an array containing the items in self:

(0..4).to_a # => [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]

Enumerable#entries is an alias for Enumerable#to_a.

Returns system configuration variable using confstr().

name should be a constant under Etc which begins with CS_.

The return value is a string or nil. nil means no configuration-defined value. (confstr() returns 0 but errno is not set.)

# GNU/Linux
Etc.confstr(Etc::CS_GNU_LIBC_VERSION) #=> "glibc 2.18"
