Removes each element for which the block returns a truthy value.
Returns self if any elements removed:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2, 'bat'] a.reject! {|element| element.to_s.start_with?('b') } # => [:foo, 2]
Returns nil if no elements removed.
Returns a new Enumerator if no block given:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2] a.reject! # => #<Enumerator: [:foo, "bar", 2]:reject!>
Replaces the content of self with the content of other_array; returns self:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2] a.replace(['foo', :bar, 3]) # => ["foo", :bar, 3]
Prepends the given objects to self:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2] a.unshift(:bam, :bat) # => [:bam, :bat, :foo, "bar", 2]
Calculates the set of unambiguous abbreviations for the strings in self.
require 'abbrev' %w{ car cone }.abbrev #=> {"car"=>"car", "ca"=>"car", "cone"=>"cone", "con"=>"cone", "co"=>"cone"}
The optional pattern parameter is a pattern or a string. Only input strings that match the pattern or start with the string are included in the output hash.
%w{ fast boat day }.abbrev(/^.a/) #=> {"fast"=>"fast", "fas"=>"fast", "fa"=>"fast", "day"=>"day", "da"=>"day"} Abbrev.abbrev(%w{car box cone}, "ca") #=> {"car"=>"car", "ca"=>"car"}

Complex.polar(1, Math::PI/4).real # => 0.7071067811865476 # Square root of 2.
Returns the array [self.real, self.imag]:
Complex.rect(1, 2).rect # => [1, 2]

Returns false; for compatibility with Numeric#real?.
Returns array [self, 0].
Returns array [self, 0].
Returns a 2-element array [q, r], where
q = (self/other).floor # Quotient r = self % other # Remainder
Of the Core and Standard Library classes, only Rational uses this implementation.
Examples:
Rational(11, 1).divmod(4) # => [2, (3/1)] Rational(11, 1).divmod(-4) # => [-3, (-1/1)] Rational(-11, 1).divmod(4) # => [-3, (1/1)] Rational(-11, 1).divmod(-4) # => [2, (-3/1)] Rational(12, 1).divmod(4) # => [3, (0/1)] Rational(12, 1).divmod(-4) # => [-3, (0/1)] Rational(-12, 1).divmod(4) # => [-3, (0/1)] Rational(-12, 1).divmod(-4) # => [3, (0/1)] Rational(13, 1).divmod(4.0) # => [3, 1.0] Rational(13, 1).divmod(Rational(4, 11)) # => [35, (3/11)]

For Rational r and real number n, these expressions are equivalent:
r % n r-n*(r/n).floor r.divmod(n)[1]
See Numeric#divmod.
Examples:
r = Rational(1, 2) # => (1/2) r2 = Rational(2, 3) # => (2/3) r % r2 # => (1/2) r % 2 # => (1/2) r % 2.0 # => 0.5 r = Rational(301,100) # => (301/100) r2 = Rational(7,5) # => (7/5) r % r2 # => (21/100) r % -r2 # => (-119/100) (-r) % r2 # => (119/100) (-r) %-r2 # => (-21/100)
Returns true if self is greater than 0, false otherwise.
Returns true if self is less than 0, false otherwise.
Returns true if self is a real number (i.e. not Complex).
Returns self.
Returns true if the length of self is zero, false otherwise:
"hello".empty? # => false " ".empty? # => false "".empty? # => true
Replaces the contents of self with the contents of other_string:
s = 'foo' # => "foo" s.replace('bar') # => "bar"
Prepends each string in other_strings to self and returns self:
s = 'foo' s.prepend('bar', 'baz') # => "barbazfoo" s # => "barbazfoo"
