Like String#unicode_normalize, except that the normalization is performed on self.
Related String#unicode_normalized?.
Returns true if self is in the given form of Unicode normalization, false otherwise. The form must be one of :nfc, :nfd, :nfkc, or :nfkd.
Examples:
"a\u0300".unicode_normalized? # => false "a\u0300".unicode_normalized?(:nfd) # => true "\u00E0".unicode_normalized? # => true "\u00E0".unicode_normalized?(:nfd) # => false
Raises an exception if self is not in a Unicode encoding:
s = "\xE0".force_encoding('ISO-8859-1') s.unicode_normalized? # Raises Encoding::CompatibilityError.

Returns the next-larger representable Float.
These examples show the internally stored values (64-bit hexadecimal) for each Float f and for the corresponding f.next_float:
f = 0.0 # 0x0000000000000000 f.next_float # 0x0000000000000001 f = 0.01 # 0x3f847ae147ae147b f.next_float # 0x3f847ae147ae147c
In the remaining examples here, the output is shown in the usual way (result to_s):
0.01.next_float # => 0.010000000000000002 1.0.next_float # => 1.0000000000000002 100.0.next_float # => 100.00000000000001 f = 0.01 (0..3).each_with_index {|i| printf "%2d %-20a %s\n", i, f, f.to_s; f = f.next_float }
Output:

f = 0.0; 100.times { f += 0.1 }
f # => 9.99999999999998 # should be 10.0 in the ideal world.
10-f # => 1.9539925233402755e-14 # the floating point error.
10.0.next_float-10 # => 1.7763568394002505e-15 # 1 ulp (unit in the last place).
(10-f)/(10.0.next_float-10) # => 11.0 # the error is 11 ulp.
(10-f)/(10*Float::EPSILON) # => 8.8 # approximation of the above.
"%a" % 10 # => "0x1.4p+3"
"%a" % f # => "0x1.3fffffffffff5p+3" # the last hex digit is 5. 16 - 5 = 11 ulp.

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 the dirpath string that was used to create self (or nil if created by method Dir.for_fd):
Dir.new('example').path # => "example"
Converts a pathname to an absolute pathname. Relative paths are referenced from the current working directory of the process unless dir_string is given, in which case it will be used as the starting point. The given pathname may start with a “~”, which expands to the process owner’s home directory (the environment variable HOME must be set correctly). “~user” expands to the named user’s home directory.
File.expand_path("~oracle/bin") #=> "/home/oracle/bin"
A simple example of using dir_string is as follows.
File.expand_path("ruby", "/usr/bin") #=> "/usr/bin/ruby"
A more complex example which also resolves parent directory is as follows. Suppose we are in bin/mygem and want the absolute path of lib/mygem.rb.
File.expand_path("../../lib/mygem.rb", __FILE__) #=> ".../path/to/project/lib/mygem.rb"
So first it resolves the parent of __FILE__, that is bin/, then go to the parent, the root of the project and appends lib/mygem.rb.
Converts a pathname to an absolute pathname. Relative paths are referenced from the current working directory of the process unless dir_string is given, in which case it will be used as the starting point. If the given pathname starts with a “~” it is NOT expanded, it is treated as a normal directory name.
File.absolute_path("~oracle/bin") #=> "<relative_path>/~oracle/bin"
Returns true if file_name is an absolute path, and false otherwise.
File.absolute_path?("c:/foo") #=> false (on Linux), true (on Windows)
Returns whether ASCII-compatible or not.
Encoding::UTF_8.ascii_compatible? #=> true Encoding::UTF_16BE.ascii_compatible? #=> false
Returns the list of private methods accessible to obj. If the all parameter is set to false, only those methods in the receiver will be listed.
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 true if the caused method was called as private.
When this module is included in another, Ruby calls append_features in this module, passing it the receiving module in mod. Ruby’s default implementation is to add the constants, methods, and module variables of this module to mod if this module has not already been added to mod or one of its ancestors. See also Module#include.
When this module is prepended in another, Ruby calls prepend_features in this module, passing it the receiving module in mod. Ruby’s default implementation is to overlay the constants, methods, and module variables of this module to mod if this module has not already been added to mod or one of its ancestors. See also Module#prepend.
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.
Defines a named attribute for this module, where the name is symbol.id2name, creating an instance variable (@name) and a corresponding access method to read it. Also creates a method called name= to set the attribute. String arguments are converted to symbols. Returns an array of defined method names as symbols.
module Mod attr_accessor(:one, :two) #=> [:one, :one=, :two, :two=] end Mod.instance_methods.sort #=> [:one, :one=, :two, :two=]
Makes a list of existing constants private.
Makes a list of existing constants deprecated. Attempt to refer to them will produce a warning.
module HTTP NotFound = Exception.new NOT_FOUND = NotFound # previous version of the library used this name deprecate_constant :NOT_FOUND end HTTP::NOT_FOUND # warning: constant HTTP::NOT_FOUND is deprecated
