Returns:
1, if self is Infinity.
-1 if self is -Infinity.
nil, otherwise.
Examples:
f = 1.0/0.0 # => Infinity f.infinite? # => 1 f = -1.0/0.0 # => -Infinity f.infinite? # => -1 f = 1.0 # => 1.0 f.infinite? # => nil f = 0.0/0.0 # => NaN f.infinite? # => nil
Returns true if self is not Infinity, -Infinity, or NaN, false otherwise:
f = 2.0 # => 2.0 f.finite? # => true f = 1.0/0.0 # => Infinity f.finite? # => false f = -1.0/0.0 # => -Infinity f.finite? # => false f = 0.0/0.0 # => NaN f.finite? # => false
Deletes the named directory. Raises a subclass of SystemCallError if the directory isn’t empty.
Deletes the named files, returning the number of names passed as arguments. Raises an exception on any error. Since the underlying implementation relies on the unlink(2) system call, the type of exception raised depends on its error type (see linux.die.net/man/2/unlink) and has the form of e.g. Errno::ENOENT.
See also Dir::rmdir.
Truncates the file file_name to be at most integer bytes long. Not available on all platforms.
f = File.new("out", "w") f.write("1234567890") #=> 10 f.close #=> nil File.truncate("out", 5) #=> 0 File.size("out") #=> 5
Truncates file to at most integer bytes. The file must be opened for writing. Not available on all platforms.
f = File.new("out", "w") f.syswrite("1234567890") #=> 10 f.truncate(5) #=> 0 f.close() #=> nil File.size("out") #=> 5
Round to the nearest integer (by default), returning the result as a BigDecimal if n is specified, or as an Integer if it isn’t.
BigDecimal('3.14159').round #=> 3 BigDecimal('8.7').round #=> 9 BigDecimal('-9.9').round #=> -10 BigDecimal('3.14159').round(2).class.name #=> "BigDecimal" BigDecimal('3.14159').round.class.name #=> "Integer"
If n is specified and positive, the fractional part of the result has no more than that many digits.
If n is specified and negative, at least that many digits to the left of the decimal point will be 0 in the result, and return value will be an Integer.
BigDecimal('3.14159').round(3) #=> 3.142 BigDecimal('13345.234').round(-2) #=> 13300
The value of the optional mode argument can be used to determine how rounding is performed; see BigDecimal.mode.
Returns nil, -1, or +1 depending on whether the value is finite, -Infinity, or +Infinity.
Returns True if the value is finite (not NaN or infinite).
Truncate to the nearest integer (by default), returning the result as a BigDecimal.
BigDecimal('3.14159').truncate #=> 3 BigDecimal('8.7').truncate #=> 8 BigDecimal('-9.9').truncate #=> -9
If n is specified and positive, the fractional part of the result has no more than that many digits.
If n is specified and negative, at least that many digits to the left of the decimal point will be 0 in the result.
BigDecimal('3.14159').truncate(3) #=> 3.141 BigDecimal('13345.234').truncate(-2) #=> 13300.0
Returns the absolute value of rat.
(1/2r).abs #=> (1/2) (-1/2r).abs #=> (1/2)
Rational#magnitude is an alias for Rational#abs.

Returns true if self is a Sunday, false otherwise.
Returns false
Returns a new Time object whose numeric value is that of self, with its seconds value rounded to precision ndigits:
t = Time.utc(2010, 3, 30, 5, 43, 25.123456789r) t # => 2010-03-30 05:43:25.123456789 UTC t.round # => 2010-03-30 05:43:25 UTC t.round(0) # => 2010-03-30 05:43:25 UTC t.round(1) # => 2010-03-30 05:43:25.1 UTC t.round(2) # => 2010-03-30 05:43:25.12 UTC t.round(3) # => 2010-03-30 05:43:25.123 UTC t.round(4) # => 2010-03-30 05:43:25.1235 UTC t = Time.utc(1999, 12,31, 23, 59, 59) t # => 1999-12-31 23:59:59 UTC (t + 0.4).round # => 1999-12-31 23:59:59 UTC (t + 0.49).round # => 1999-12-31 23:59:59 UTC (t + 0.5).round # => 2000-01-01 00:00:00 UTC (t + 1.4).round # => 2000-01-01 00:00:00 UTC (t + 1.49).round # => 2000-01-01 00:00:00 UTC (t + 1.5).round # => 2000-01-01 00:00:01 UTC

Pushes back (“unshifts”) the given data onto the stream’s buffer, placing the data so that it is next to be read; returns nil. See Byte IO.
Note that:
Calling the method has no effect with unbuffered reads (such as IO#sysread).
Calling rewind on the stream discards the pushed-back data.
When argument integer is given, uses only its low-order byte:
File.write('t.tmp', '012') f = File.open('t.tmp') f.ungetbyte(0x41) # => nil f.read # => "A012" f.rewind f.ungetbyte(0x4243) # => nil f.read # => "C012" f.close
When argument string is given, uses all bytes:
File.write('t.tmp', '012') f = File.open('t.tmp') f.ungetbyte('A') # => nil f.read # => "A012" f.rewind f.ungetbyte('BCDE') # => nil f.read # => "BCDE012" f.close
Pushes back (“unshifts”) the given data onto the stream’s buffer, placing the data so that it is next to be read; returns nil. See Character IO.
Note that:
Calling the method has no effect with unbuffered reads (such as IO#sysread).
Calling rewind on the stream discards the pushed-back data.
When argument integer is given, interprets the integer as a character:
File.write('t.tmp', '012') f = File.open('t.tmp') f.ungetc(0x41) # => nil f.read # => "A012" f.rewind f.ungetc(0x0442) # => nil f.getc.ord # => 1090 f.close
When argument string is given, uses all characters:
File.write('t.tmp', '012') f = File.open('t.tmp') f.ungetc('A') # => nil f.read # => "A012" f.rewind f.ungetc("\u0442\u0435\u0441\u0442") # => nil f.getc.ord # => 1090 f.getc.ord # => 1077 f.getc.ord # => 1089 f.getc.ord # => 1090 f.close
Returns the count of elements, based on an argument or block criterion, if given.
With no argument and no block given, returns the number of elements:
(1..4).count # => 4 (1...4).count # => 3 ('a'..'d').count # => 4 ('a'...'d').count # => 3 (1..).count # => Infinity (..4).count # => Infinity
With argument object, returns the number of object found in self, which will usually be zero or one:
(1..4).count(2) # => 1 (1..4).count(5) # => 0 (1..4).count('a') # => 0
With a block given, calls the block with each element; returns the number of elements for which the block returns a truthy value:
(1..4).count {|element| element < 3 } # => 2
Related: Range#size.
Returns true if self points to a mountpoint.
Returns pathname. This method is deprecated and will be removed in Ruby 3.2.
