Returns the value as a rational if possible (the imaginary part should be exactly zero).
Complex(1.0/3, 0).rationalize #=> (1/3) Complex(1, 0.0).rationalize # RangeError Complex(1, 2).rationalize # RangeError
See to_r.
Returns zero as a rational. The optional argument eps is always ignored.
Returns the remainder after dividing self by other.
Of the Core and Standard Library classes, only Float and Rational use this implementation.
Examples:
11.0.remainder(4) # => 3.0 11.0.remainder(-4) # => 3.0 -11.0.remainder(4) # => -3.0 -11.0.remainder(-4) # => -3.0 12.0.remainder(4) # => 0.0 12.0.remainder(-4) # => 0.0 -12.0.remainder(4) # => -0.0 -12.0.remainder(-4) # => -0.0 13.0.remainder(4.0) # => 1.0 13.0.remainder(Rational(4, 1)) # => 1.0 Rational(13, 1).remainder(4) # => (1/1) Rational(13, 1).remainder(-4) # => (1/1) Rational(-13, 1).remainder(4) # => (-1/1) Rational(-13, 1).remainder(-4) # => (-1/1)
Returns the absolute value of self.
12.abs #=> 12 (-34.56).abs #=> 34.56 -34.56.abs #=> 34.56
Numeric#magnitude is an alias for Numeric#abs.
Returns self truncated (toward zero) to a precision of digits decimal digits.
Numeric implements this by converting self to a Float and invoking Float#truncate.
Returns true if self is less than 0, false otherwise.
Returns zero.
Returns self.
Returns the numerator.
Returns the denominator (always positive).
Returns a string containing the first character of self:
s = 'foo' # => "foo" s.chr # => "f"
Returns an array of the characters in self:
'hello'.chars # => ["h", "e", "l", "l", "o"] 'тест'.chars # => ["т", "е", "с", "т"] 'こんにちは'.chars # => ["こ", "ん", "に", "ち", "は"]
Concatenates each object in objects to self and returns self:
s = 'foo' s.concat('bar', 'baz') # => "foobarbaz" s # => "foobarbaz"
For each given object object that is an Integer, the value is considered a codepoint and converted to a character before concatenation:
s = 'foo' s.concat(32, 'bar', 32, 'baz') # => "foo bar baz"
Related: String#<<, which takes a single argument.
Returns a new string copied from self, with trailing characters possibly removed.
Removes "\r\n" if those are the last two characters.
"abc\r\n".chop # => "abc" "тест\r\n".chop # => "тест" "こんにちは\r\n".chop # => "こんにちは"
Otherwise removes the last character if it exists.
'abcd'.chop # => "abc" 'тест'.chop # => "тес" 'こんにちは'.chop # => "こんにち" ''.chop # => ""
If you only need to remove the newline separator at the end of the string, String#chomp is a better alternative.
Returns a new string copied from self, with trailing characters possibly removed:
When line_sep is "\n", removes the last one or two characters if they are "\r", "\n", or "\r\n" (but not "\n\r"):
$/ # => "\n" "abc\r".chomp # => "abc" "abc\n".chomp # => "abc" "abc\r\n".chomp # => "abc" "abc\n\r".chomp # => "abc\n" "тест\r\n".chomp # => "тест" "こんにちは\r\n".chomp # => "こんにちは"
When line_sep is '' (an empty string), removes multiple trailing occurrences of "\n" or "\r\n" (but not "\r" or "\n\r"):
"abc\n\n\n".chomp('') # => "abc" "abc\r\n\r\n\r\n".chomp('') # => "abc" "abc\n\n\r\n\r\n\n\n".chomp('') # => "abc" "abc\n\r\n\r\n\r".chomp('') # => "abc\n\r\n\r\n\r" "abc\r\r\r".chomp('') # => "abc\r\r\r"
When line_sep is neither "\n" nor '', removes a single trailing line separator if there is one:
'abcd'.chomp('d') # => "abc" 'abcdd'.chomp('d') # => "abcd"
Like String#chop, but modifies self in place; returns nil if self is empty, self otherwise.
Related: String#chomp!.
Like String#chomp, but modifies self in place; returns nil if no modification made, self otherwise.
Returns self truncated (toward zero) to a precision of ndigits decimal digits.
When ndigits is positive, returns a float with ndigits digits after the decimal point (as available):
f = 12345.6789 f.truncate(1) # => 12345.6 f.truncate(3) # => 12345.678 f = -12345.6789 f.truncate(1) # => -12345.6 f.truncate(3) # => -12345.678
When ndigits is negative, returns an integer with at least ndigits.abs trailing zeros:
f = 12345.6789 f.truncate(0) # => 12345 f.truncate(-3) # => 12000 f = -12345.6789 f.truncate(0) # => -12345 f.truncate(-3) # => -12000
Note that the limited precision of floating-point arithmetic may lead to surprising results:
(0.3 / 0.1).truncate #=> 2 (!)
Related: Float#round.
Returns true if float is less than 0.
Returns the numerator. The result is machine dependent.
n = 0.3.numerator #=> 5404319552844595 d = 0.3.denominator #=> 18014398509481984 n.fdiv(d) #=> 0.3
See also Float#denominator.
Returns the denominator (always positive). The result is machine dependent.
See also Float#numerator.
Returns a simpler approximation of the value (flt-|eps| <= result <= flt+|eps|). If the optional argument eps is not given, it will be chosen automatically.
0.3.rationalize #=> (3/10) 1.333.rationalize #=> (1333/1000) 1.333.rationalize(0.01) #=> (4/3)
See also Float#to_r.
Returns the Fiber scheduler, that was last set for the current thread with Fiber.set_scheduler. Returns nil if no scheduler is set (which is the default), and non-blocking fibers’ behavior is the same as blocking. (see “Non-blocking fibers” section in class docs for details about the scheduler concept).
