Iterates backwards over array elements.
When a block given, passes, in reverse order, each element to the block; returns self:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2] a.reverse_each {|element| puts "#{element.class} #{element}" }
Output:
Integer 2 String bar Symbol foo
Allows the array to be modified during iteration:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2] a.reverse_each {|element| puts element; a.clear if element.to_s.start_with?('b') }
Output:
2 bar
When no block given, returns a new Enumerator:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2] e = a.reverse_each e # => #<Enumerator: [:foo, "bar", 2]:reverse_each> a1 = e.each {|element| puts "#{element.class} #{element}" }
Output:
Integer 2 String bar Symbol foo
Related: each, each_index.
Calls the block with each repeated permutation of length n of the elements of self; each permutation is an Array; returns self. The order of the permutations is indeterminate.
When a block and a positive Integer argument n are given, calls the block with each n-tuple repeated permutation of the elements of self. The number of permutations is self.size**n.
n = 1:
a = [0, 1, 2] a.repeated_permutation(1) {|permutation| p permutation }
Output:
[0] [1] [2]
n = 2:
a.repeated_permutation(2) {|permutation| p permutation }
Output:
[0, 0] [0, 1] [0, 2] [1, 0] [1, 1] [1, 2] [2, 0] [2, 1] [2, 2]
If n is zero, calls the block once with an empty Array.
If n is negative, does not call the block:
a.repeated_permutation(-1) {|permutation| fail 'Cannot happen' }
Returns a new Enumerator if no block given:
a = [0, 1, 2] a.repeated_permutation(2) # => #<Enumerator: [0, 1, 2]:permutation(2)>
Using Enumerators, it’s convenient to show the permutations and counts for some values of n:
e = a.repeated_permutation(0) e.size # => 1 e.to_a # => [[]] e = a.repeated_permutation(1) e.size # => 3 e.to_a # => [[0], [1], [2]] e = a.repeated_permutation(2) e.size # => 9 e.to_a # => [[0, 0], [0, 1], [0, 2], [1, 0], [1, 1], [1, 2], [2, 0], [2, 1], [2, 2]]
If object is an Integer object, returns object.
Integer.try_convert(1) # => 1
Otherwise if object responds to :to_int, calls object.to_int and returns the result.
Integer.try_convert(1.25) # => 1
Returns nil if object does not respond to :to_int
Integer.try_convert([]) # => nil
Raises an exception unless object.to_int returns an Integer object.
If object is a String object, returns object.
Otherwise if object responds to :to_str, calls object.to_str and returns the result.
Returns nil if object does not respond to :to_str.
Raises an exception unless object.to_str returns a String object.
Returns an array of the grapheme clusters in self (see Unicode Grapheme Cluster Boundaries):
s = "\u0061\u0308-pqr-\u0062\u0308-xyz-\u0063\u0308" # => "ä-pqr-b̈-xyz-c̈" s.grapheme_clusters # => ["ä", "-", "p", "q", "r", "-", "b̈", "-", "x", "y", "z", "-", "c̈"]
Returns the next-larger representable Float.

Like backtrace, but returns each line of the execution stack as a Thread::Backtrace::Location. Accepts the same arguments as backtrace.
f = Fiber.new { Fiber.yield } f.resume loc = f.backtrace_locations.first loc.label #=> "yield" loc.path #=> "test.rb" loc.lineno #=> 1
Sets the Fiber scheduler for the current thread. If the scheduler is set, non-blocking fibers (created by Fiber.new with blocking: false, or by Fiber.schedule) call that scheduler’s hook methods on potentially blocking operations, and the current thread will call scheduler’s close method on finalization (allowing the scheduler to properly manage all non-finished fibers).
scheduler can be an object of any class corresponding to Fiber::Scheduler. Its implementation is up to the user.
See also the “Non-blocking fibers” section in class docs.
Returns the Fiber scheduler, that was last set for the current thread with Fiber.set_scheduler if and only if the current fiber is non-blocking.
Returns default external encoding.
The default external encoding is used by default for strings created from the following locations:
File data read from disk
SDBM
While strings created from these locations will have this encoding, the encoding may not be valid. Be sure to check String#valid_encoding?.
File data written to disk will be transcoded to the default external encoding when written, if default_internal is not nil.
The default external encoding is initialized by the -E option. If -E isn’t set, it is initialized to UTF-8 on Windows and the locale on other operating systems.
Sets default external encoding. You should not set Encoding::default_external in ruby code as strings created before changing the value may have a different encoding from strings created after the value was changed., instead you should use ruby -E to invoke ruby with the correct default_external.
See Encoding::default_external for information on how the default external encoding is used.
Returns default internal encoding. Strings will be transcoded to the default internal encoding in the following places if the default internal encoding is not nil:
File data read from disk
Strings returned from Readline
Strings returned from SDBM
Values from ENV
Values in ARGV including $PROGRAM_NAME
Additionally String#encode and String#encode! use the default internal encoding if no encoding is given.
The script encoding (__ENCODING__), not default_internal, is used as the encoding of created strings.
Encoding::default_internal is initialized with -E option or nil otherwise.
Sets default internal encoding or removes default internal encoding when passed nil. You should not set Encoding::default_internal in ruby code as strings created before changing the value may have a different encoding from strings created after the change. Instead you should use ruby -E to invoke ruby with the correct default_internal.
See Encoding::default_internal for information on how the default internal encoding is used.
Returns the locale charmap name. It returns nil if no appropriate information.
Debian GNU/Linux LANG=C Encoding.locale_charmap #=> "ANSI_X3.4-1968" LANG=ja_JP.EUC-JP Encoding.locale_charmap #=> "EUC-JP" SunOS 5 LANG=C Encoding.locale_charmap #=> "646" LANG=ja Encoding.locale_charmap #=> "eucJP"
The result is highly platform dependent. So Encoding.find(Encoding.locale_charmap) may cause an error. If you need some encoding object even for unknown locale, Encoding.find(“locale”) can be used.
Processes a string returned by message.
It may add the class name of the exception to the end of the first line. Also, when highlight keyword is true, it adds ANSI escape sequences to make the message bold.
If you override this method, it must be tolerant for unknown keyword arguments. All keyword arguments passed to full_message are delegated to this method.
This method is overridden by did_you_mean and error_highlight to add their information.
A user-defined exception class can also define their own detailed_message method to add supplemental information. When highlight is true, it can return a string containing escape sequences, but use widely-supported ones. It is recommended to limit the following codes:
Reset (\e[0m)
Bold (\e[1m)
Underline (\e[4m)
Foreground color except white and black
Red (\e[31m)
Green (\e[32m)
Yellow (\e[33m)
Blue (\e[34m)
Magenta (\e[35m)
Cyan (\e[36m)
Use escape sequences carefully even if highlight is true. Do not use escape sequences to express essential information; the message should be readable even if all escape sequences are ignored.
Returns formatted string of exception. The returned string is formatted using the same format that Ruby uses when printing an uncaught exceptions to stderr.
If highlight is true the default error handler will send the messages to a tty.
order must be either of :top or :bottom, and places the error message and the innermost backtrace come at the top or the bottom.
The default values of these options depend on $stderr and its tty? at the timing of a call.
Returns any backtrace associated with the exception. This method is similar to Exception#backtrace, but the backtrace is an array of Thread::Backtrace::Location.
This method is not affected by Exception#set_backtrace().
Return a list of the local variable names defined where this NameError exception was raised.
Internal use only.
Creates instance variables and corresponding methods that return the value of each instance variable. Equivalent to calling “attr:name” on each name in turn. String arguments are converted to symbols. Returns an array of defined method names as symbols.
Creates an accessor method to allow assignment to the attribute symbol.id2name. String arguments are converted to symbols. Returns an array of defined method names as symbols.
Checks for a constant with the given name in mod. If inherit is set, the lookup will also search the ancestors (and Object if mod is a Module).
The value of the constant is returned if a definition is found, otherwise a NameError is raised.
Math.const_get(:PI) #=> 3.14159265358979
This method will recursively look up constant names if a namespaced class name is provided. For example:
module Foo; class Bar; end end Object.const_get 'Foo::Bar'
The inherit flag is respected on each lookup. For example:
module Foo class Bar VAL = 10 end class Baz < Bar; end end Object.const_get 'Foo::Baz::VAL' # => 10 Object.const_get 'Foo::Baz::VAL', false # => NameError
If the argument is not a valid constant name a NameError will be raised with a warning “wrong constant name”.
Object.const_get 'foobar' #=> NameError: wrong constant name foobar
Create an HTTP header block as a string.
Includes the empty line that ends the header block.
content_type_string
If this form is used, this string is the Content-Type
headers_hash
A Hash of header values. The following header keys are recognized:
The Content-Type header. Defaults to “text/html”
The charset of the body, appended to the Content-Type header.
A boolean value. If true, prepend protocol string and status code, and date; and sets default values for “server” and “connection” if not explicitly set.
The HTTP status code as a String, returned as the Status header. The values are:
200 OK
206 Partial Content
300 Multiple Choices
301 Moved Permanently
302 Found
304 Not Modified
400 Bad Request
401 Authorization Required
403 Forbidden
404 Not Found
405 Method Not Allowed
406 Not Acceptable
411 Length Required
412 Precondition Failed
500 Internal Server Error
501 Method Not Implemented
502 Bad Gateway
506 Variant Also Negotiates
The server software, returned as the Server header.
The connection type, returned as the Connection header (for instance, “close”.
The length of the content that will be sent, returned as the Content-Length header.
The language of the content, returned as the Content-Language header.
The time on which the current content expires, as a Time object, returned as the Expires header.
A cookie or cookies, returned as one or more Set-Cookie headers. The value can be the literal string of the cookie; a CGI::Cookie object; an Array of literal cookie strings or Cookie objects; or a hash all of whose values are literal cookie strings or Cookie objects.
These cookies are in addition to the cookies held in the @output_cookies field.
Other headers can also be set; they are appended as key: value.
Examples:
http_header # Content-Type: text/html http_header("text/plain") # Content-Type: text/plain http_header("nph" => true, "status" => "OK", # == "200 OK" # "status" => "200 GOOD", "server" => ENV['SERVER_SOFTWARE'], "connection" => "close", "type" => "text/html", "charset" => "iso-2022-jp", # Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-2022-jp "length" => 103, "language" => "ja", "expires" => Time.now + 30, "cookie" => [cookie1, cookie2], "my_header1" => "my_value", "my_header2" => "my_value")
This method does not perform charset conversion.
Returns true if the arguments define a valid commercial date, false otherwise:
Date.valid_commercial?(2001, 5, 6) # => true Date.valid_commercial?(2001, 5, 8) # => false
