Returns the successor integer of self (equivalent to self + 1):
1.succ #=> 2 -1.succ #=> 0
Integer#next is an alias for Integer#succ.
Related: Integer#pred (predecessor value).
Returns self.
Returns the value as a rational. The optional argument eps is always ignored.
Returns a complex object which denotes the given rectangular form.
Complex.rectangular(1, 2) #=> (1+2i)
Returns a complex object which denotes the given polar form.
Complex.polar(3, 0) #=> (3.0+0.0i) Complex.polar(3, Math::PI/2) #=> (1.836909530733566e-16+3.0i) Complex.polar(3, Math::PI) #=> (-3.0+3.673819061467132e-16i) Complex.polar(3, -Math::PI/2) #=> (1.836909530733566e-16-3.0i)
Returns the imaginary part.
Complex(7).imaginary #=> 0 Complex(9, -4).imaginary #=> -4
Returns the angle part of its polar form.
Complex.polar(3, Math::PI/2).arg #=> 1.5707963267948966
Returns an array; [cmp.abs, cmp.arg].
Complex(1, 2).polar #=> [2.23606797749979, 1.1071487177940904]
Returns the numerator.
1 2 3+4i <- numerator
- + -i -> ----
2 3 6 <- denominator
c = Complex('1/2+2/3i') #=> ((1/2)+(2/3)*i)
n = c.numerator #=> (3+4i)
d = c.denominator #=> 6
n / d #=> ((1/2)+(2/3)*i)
Complex(Rational(n.real, d), Rational(n.imag, d))
#=> ((1/2)+(2/3)*i)
See denominator.
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 0 if the value is positive, pi otherwise.
Returns an array; [num, 0].
Returns an array; [num.abs, num.arg].
Returns self.
Raises an exception if the value for freeze is neither true nor nil.
Related: Numeric#dup.
Returns true if self is less than 0, false otherwise.
Returns zero.
Returns the numerator.
Returns the successor to self. The successor is calculated by incrementing characters.
The first character to be incremented is the rightmost alphanumeric: or, if no alphanumerics, the rightmost character:
'THX1138'.succ # => "THX1139" '<<koala>>'.succ # => "<<koalb>>" '***'.succ # => '**+'
The successor to a digit is another digit, “carrying” to the next-left character for a “rollover” from 9 to 0, and prepending another digit if necessary:
'00'.succ # => "01" '09'.succ # => "10" '99'.succ # => "100"
The successor to a letter is another letter of the same case, carrying to the next-left character for a rollover, and prepending another same-case letter if necessary:
'aa'.succ # => "ab" 'az'.succ # => "ba" 'zz'.succ # => "aaa" 'AA'.succ # => "AB" 'AZ'.succ # => "BA" 'ZZ'.succ # => "AAA"
The successor to a non-alphanumeric character is the next character in the underlying character set’s collating sequence, carrying to the next-left character for a rollover, and prepending another character if necessary:
s = 0.chr * 3 s # => "\x00\x00\x00" s.succ # => "\x00\x00\x01" s = 255.chr * 3 s # => "\xFF\xFF\xFF" s.succ # => "\x01\x00\x00\x00"
Carrying can occur between and among mixtures of alphanumeric characters:
s = 'zz99zz99' s.succ # => "aaa00aa00" s = '99zz99zz' s.succ # => "100aa00aa"
The successor to an empty String is a new empty String:
''.succ # => ""
String#next is an alias for String#succ.
Equivalent to String#succ, but modifies self in place; returns self.
String#next! is an alias for String#succ!.
