Returns a string representing the marshalling of self. See module Marshal.
inf = BigDecimal('Infinity') # => Infinity dumped = inf._dump # => "9:Infinity" BigDecimal._load(dumped) # => Infinity
Returns true if the given year is a leap year in the proleptic Gregorian calendar, false otherwise:
Date.gregorian_leap?(2000) # => true Date.gregorian_leap?(2001) # => false
Related: Date.julian_leap?.
Returns a new Date object constructed from the present date:
Date.today.to_s # => "2022-07-06"
See argument start.
Returns true if the date is before the date of calendar reform, false otherwise:
(Date.new(1582, 10, 15) - 1).julian? # => true Date.new(1582, 10, 15).julian? # => false
Returns true if the year is a leap year, false otherwise:
Date.new(2000).leap? # => true Date.new(2001).leap? # => false
Equivalent to Date#new_start with argument Date::JULIAN.
Returns the integer file descriptor for the stream:
$stdin.fileno # => 0 $stdout.fileno # => 1 $stderr.fileno # => 2 File.open('t.txt').fileno # => 10 f.close
Alias for Regexp.new
Removes all elements and returns self.
set = Set[1, 'c', :s] #=> #<Set: {1, "c", :s}> set.clear #=> #<Set: {}> set #=> #<Set: {}>
Deletes the given object from the set and returns self. Use subtract to delete many items at once.
Deletes the given object from the set and returns self. If the object is not in the set, returns nil.
Returns the number of members.
Customer = Struct.new(:name, :address, :zip) joe = Customer.new("Joe Smith", "123 Maple, Anytown NC", 12345) joe.size #=> 3
Equivalent to self.to_s.length; see String#length.
Returns clean pathname of self with consecutive slashes and useless dots removed. The filesystem is not accessed.
If consider_symlink is true, then a more conservative algorithm is used to avoid breaking symbolic linkages. This may retain more .. entries than absolutely necessary, but without accessing the filesystem, this can’t be avoided.
See Pathname#realpath.
Removes a file or directory, using File.unlink if self is a file, or Dir.unlink as necessary.
Tokenizes the Ruby program and returns an array of an array, which is formatted like [[lineno, column], type, token, state]. The filename argument is mostly ignored. By default, this method does not handle syntax errors in src, use the raise_errors keyword to raise a SyntaxError for an error in src.
