Return the status value associated with this system exit.
The first form is equivalent to attr_reader
. The second form is equivalent to attr_accessor(name)
but deprecated. The last form is equivalent to attr_reader(name)
but deprecated. Returns an array of defined method names as symbols.
With no arguments, sets the default visibility for subsequently defined methods to private. With arguments, sets the named methods to have private visibility. String
arguments are converted to symbols. An Array
of Symbols and/or Strings is also accepted. If a single argument is passed, it is returned. If no argument is passed, nil is returned. If multiple arguments are passed, the arguments are returned as an array.

, use :doc:

Returns the remainder from dividing by the value.
x.remainder(y) means x-y*(x/y).truncate
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 numerator.
Rational(7).numerator #=> 7 Rational(7, 1).numerator #=> 7 Rational(9, -4).numerator #=> -9 Rational(-2, -10).numerator #=> 1
Returns the denominator (always positive).
Rational(7).denominator #=> 1 Rational(7, 1).denominator #=> 1 Rational(9, -4).denominator #=> 4 Rational(-2, -10).denominator #=> 5
Returns true
if rat
is less than 0.
Returns rat
truncated (toward zero) to a precision of ndigits
decimal digits (default: 0).
When the precision is negative, the returned value is an integer with at least ndigits.abs
trailing zeros.
Returns a rational when ndigits
is positive, otherwise returns an integer.

Returns a simpler approximation of the value if the optional argument eps
is given (rat-|eps| <= result <= rat+|eps|), self otherwise.
r = Rational(5033165, 16777216) r.rationalize #=> (5033165/16777216) r.rationalize(Rational('0.01')) #=> (3/10) r.rationalize(Rational('0.1')) #=> (1/3)

; see Formats for Dates and Times:
Date.new(2001, 2, 3).httpdate # => "Sat, 03 Feb 2001 00:00:00 GMT"
Creates a new DateTime
object by parsing from a string according to some RFC 2616 format.
DateTime.httpdate('Sat, 03 Feb 2001 04:05:06 GMT') #=> #<DateTime: 2001-02-03T04:05:06+00:00 ...>
Raise an ArgumentError
when the string length is longer than limit. You can stop this check by passing limit: nil
, but note that it may take a long time to parse.
Parses date
as an HTTP-date defined by RFC 2616 and converts it to a Time
object.
ArgumentError
is raised if date
is not compliant with RFC 2616 or if the Time
class cannot represent specified date.
See httpdate
for more information on this format.
require 'time' Time.httpdate("Thu, 06 Oct 2011 02:26:12 GMT") #=> 2011-10-06 02:26:12 UTC
You must require ‘time’ to use this method.
Returns a string which represents the time as RFC 1123 date of HTTP-date defined by RFC 2616:
day-of-week, DD month-name CCYY hh:mm:ss GMT
Note that the result is always UTC (GMT).
require 'time' t = Time.now t.httpdate # => "Thu, 06 Oct 2011 02:26:12 GMT"
You must require ‘time’ to use this method.
Returns a new Time
object based the on given arguments, in the UTC timezone.
With one to seven arguments given, the arguments are interpreted as in the first calling sequence above:
Time.utc(year, month = 1, mday = 1, hour = 0, min = 0, sec = 0, usec = 0)
Examples:
Time.utc(2000) # => 2000-01-01 00:00:00 UTC Time.utc(-2000) # => -2000-01-01 00:00:00 UTC
There are no minimum and maximum values for the required argument year
.
For the optional arguments:
month
: Month in range (1..12), or case-insensitive 3-letter month name:
Time.utc(2000, 1) # => 2000-01-01 00:00:00 UTC Time.utc(2000, 12) # => 2000-12-01 00:00:00 UTC Time.utc(2000, 'jan') # => 2000-01-01 00:00:00 UTC Time.utc(2000, 'JAN') # => 2000-01-01 00:00:00 UTC
mday
: Month day in range(1..31):
Time.utc(2000, 1, 1) # => 2000-01-01 00:00:00 UTC Time.utc(2000, 1, 31) # => 2000-01-31 00:00:00 UTC
hour
: Hour in range (0..23), or 24 if min
, sec
, and usec
are zero:
Time.utc(2000, 1, 1, 0) # => 2000-01-01 00:00:00 UTC Time.utc(2000, 1, 1, 23) # => 2000-01-01 23:00:00 UTC Time.utc(2000, 1, 1, 24) # => 2000-01-02 00:00:00 UTC
min
: Minute in range (0..59):
Time.utc(2000, 1, 1, 0, 0) # => 2000-01-01 00:00:00 UTC Time.utc(2000, 1, 1, 0, 59) # => 2000-01-01 00:59:00 UTC
sec
: Second in range (0..59), or 60 if usec
is zero:
Time.utc(2000, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0) # => 2000-01-01 00:00:00 UTC Time.utc(2000, 1, 1, 0, 0, 59) # => 2000-01-01 00:00:59 UTC Time.utc(2000, 1, 1, 0, 0, 60) # => 2000-01-01 00:01:00 UTC
usec
: Microsecond in range (0..999999):
Time.utc(2000, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0) # => 2000-01-01 00:00:00 UTC Time.utc(2000, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 999999) # => 2000-01-01 00:00:00.999999 UTC
The values may be:
Integers, as above.
Numerics convertible to integers:
Time.utc(Float(0.0), Rational(1, 1), 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0) # => 0000-01-01 00:00:00 UTC
String
integers:
a = %w[0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0] # => ["0", "1", "1", "0", "0", "0", "0", "0"] Time.utc(*a) # => 0000-01-01 00:00:00 UTC
When exactly ten arguments are given, the arguments are interpreted as in the second calling sequence above:
Time.utc(sec, min, hour, mday, month, year, dummy, dummy, dummy, dummy)
where the dummy
arguments are ignored:
a = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9] # => [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9] Time.utc(*a) # => 0005-04-03 02:01:00 UTC
This form is useful for creating a Time
object from a 10-element array returned by Time.to_a
:
t = Time.new(2000, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) # => 2000-01-02 03:04:05 +000006 a = t.to_a # => [5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 2000, 0, 2, false, nil] Time.utc(*a) # => 2000-01-02 03:04:05 UTC
The two forms have their first six arguments in common, though in different orders; the ranges of these common arguments are the same for both forms; see above.
Raises an exception if the number of arguments is eight, nine, or greater than ten.
