Returns a new Array containing those elements from self that are not duplicates, the first occurrence always being retained.
With no block given, identifies and omits duplicates using method eql? to compare:
a = [0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2] a.uniq # => [0, 1, 2]
With a block given, calls the block for each element; identifies (using method eql?) and omits duplicate values, that is, those elements for which the block returns the same value:
a = ['a', 'aa', 'aaa', 'b', 'bb', 'bbb'] a.uniq {|element| element.size } # => ["a", "aa", "aaa"]
Removes duplicate elements from self, the first occurrence always being retained; returns self if any elements removed, nil otherwise.
With no block given, identifies and removes elements using method eql? to compare.
Returns self if any elements removed:
a = [0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2] a.uniq! # => [0, 1, 2]
Returns nil if no elements removed.
With a block given, calls the block for each element; identifies (using method eql?) and removes elements for which the block returns duplicate values.
Returns self if any elements removed:
a = ['a', 'aa', 'aaa', 'b', 'bb', 'bbb'] a.uniq! {|element| element.size } # => ['a', 'aa', 'aaa']
Returns nil if no elements removed.
Returns a new Array containing all non-nil elements from self:
a = [nil, 0, nil, 1, nil, 2, nil] a.compact # => [0, 1, 2]
Removes all nil elements from self.
Returns self if any elements removed, otherwise nil.
Returns a count of specified elements.
With no argument and no block, returns the count of all elements:
[0, 1, 2].count # => 3 [].count # => 0
With argument obj, returns the count of elements == to obj:
[0, 1, 2, 0.0].count(0) # => 2 [0, 1, 2].count(3) # => 0
With no argument and a block given, calls the block with each element; returns the count of elements for which the block returns a truthy value:
[0, 1, 2, 3].count {|element| element > 1} # => 2
With argument obj and a block given, issues a warning, ignores the block, and returns the count of elements == to obj.
Returns true if no element of self meet a given criterion.
With no block given and no argument, returns true if self has no truthy elements, false otherwise:
[nil, false].none? # => true [nil, 0, false].none? # => false [].none? # => true
With a block given and no argument, calls the block with each element in self; returns true if the block returns no truthy value, false otherwise:
[0, 1, 2].none? {|element| element > 3 } # => true [0, 1, 2].none? {|element| element > 1 } # => false
If argument obj is given, returns true if obj.=== no element, false otherwise:
['food', 'drink'].none?(/bar/) # => true ['food', 'drink'].none?(/foo/) # => false [].none?(/foo/) # => true [0, 1, 2].none?(3) # => true [0, 1, 2].none?(1) # => false

Returns true if exactly one element of self meets a given criterion.
With no block given and no argument, returns true if self has exactly one truthy element, false otherwise:
[nil, 0].one? # => true [0, 0].one? # => false [nil, nil].one? # => false [].one? # => false
With a block given and no argument, calls the block with each element in self; returns true if the block a truthy value for exactly one element, false otherwise:
[0, 1, 2].one? {|element| element > 0 } # => false [0, 1, 2].one? {|element| element > 1 } # => true [0, 1, 2].one? {|element| element > 2 } # => false
If argument obj is given, returns true if obj.=== exactly one element, false otherwise:
[0, 1, 2].one?(0) # => true [0, 0, 1].one?(0) # => false [1, 1, 2].one?(0) # => false ['food', 'drink'].one?(/bar/) # => false ['food', 'drink'].one?(/foo/) # => true [].one?(/foo/) # => false

Returns self rounded to the nearest value with a precision of ndigits decimal digits.
When ndigits is negative, the returned value has at least ndigits.abs trailing zeros:
555.round(-1) # => 560 555.round(-2) # => 600 555.round(-3) # => 1000 -555.round(-2) # => -600 555.round(-4) # => 0
Returns self when ndigits is zero or positive.
555.round # => 555 555.round(1) # => 555 555.round(50) # => 555
If keyword argument half is given, and self is equidistant from the two candidate values, the rounding is according to the given half value:
:up or nil: round away from zero:
25.round(-1, half: :up) # => 30 (-25).round(-1, half: :up) # => -30
:down: round toward zero:
25.round(-1, half: :down) # => 20 (-25).round(-1, half: :down) # => -20
:even: round toward the candidate whose last nonzero digit is even:
25.round(-1, half: :even) # => 20 15.round(-1, half: :even) # => 20 (-25).round(-1, half: :even) # => -20
Raises and exception if the value for half is invalid.

Returns a string containing the place-value representation of self in radix base (in 2..36).
12345.to_s # => "12345" 12345.to_s(2) # => "11000000111001" 12345.to_s(8) # => "30071" 12345.to_s(10) # => "12345" 12345.to_s(16) # => "3039" 12345.to_s(36) # => "9ix" 78546939656932.to_s(36) # => "rubyrules"
Raises an exception if base is out of range.
Calls the given block self times with each integer in (0..self-1):
a = [] 5.times {|i| a.push(i) } # => 5 a # => [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
With no block given, returns an Enumerator.

Returns array [self, 0].
Returns self.
Raises an exception if the value for freeze is neither true nor nil.
Related: Numeric#dup.
Returns self if self is not a zero value, nil otherwise; uses method zero? for the evaluation.
The returned self allows the method to be chained:
a = %w[z Bb bB bb BB a aA Aa AA A] a.sort {|a, b| (a.downcase <=> b.downcase).nonzero? || a <=> b } # => ["A", "a", "AA", "Aa", "aA", "BB", "Bb", "bB", "bb", "z"]
Of the Core and Standard Library classes, Integer, Float, Rational, and Complex use this implementation.
Returns self rounded to the nearest value with a precision of digits decimal digits.
Numeric implements this by converting self to a Float and invoking Float#round.
Returns true if self is greater than 0, false otherwise.
Returns true if self is less than 0, false otherwise.
Returns self.
