Returns the remainder after dividing self by other.
Of the Core and Standard Library classes, only Float and Rational use this implementation.
Examples:
11.0.remainder(4) # => 3.0 11.0.remainder(-4) # => 3.0 -11.0.remainder(4) # => -3.0 -11.0.remainder(-4) # => -3.0 12.0.remainder(4) # => 0.0 12.0.remainder(-4) # => 0.0 -12.0.remainder(4) # => -0.0 -12.0.remainder(-4) # => -0.0 13.0.remainder(4.0) # => 1.0 13.0.remainder(Rational(4, 1)) # => 1.0 Rational(13, 1).remainder(4) # => (1/1) Rational(13, 1).remainder(-4) # => (1/1) Rational(-13, 1).remainder(4) # => (-1/1) Rational(-13, 1).remainder(-4) # => (-1/1)
Returns the absolute value of self.
12.abs #=> 12 (-34.56).abs #=> 34.56 -34.56.abs #=> 34.56
Returns self truncated (toward zero) to a precision of digits decimal digits.
Numeric implements this by converting self to a Float and invoking Float#truncate.
Returns true if self is less than 0, false otherwise.
Returns zero.
Returns self.
Returns the numerator.
Returns the denominator (always positive).
Returns a string containing the first character of self:
s = 'foo' # => "foo" s.chr # => "f"
Returns an array of the characters in self:
'hello'.chars # => ["h", "e", "l", "l", "o"] 'тест'.chars # => ["т", "е", "с", "т"] 'こんにちは'.chars # => ["こ", "ん", "に", "ち", "は"]
Concatenates each object in objects to self and returns self:
s = 'foo' s.concat('bar', 'baz') # => "foobarbaz" s # => "foobarbaz"
For each given object object that is an Integer, the value is considered a codepoint and converted to a character before concatenation:
s = 'foo' s.concat(32, 'bar', 32, 'baz') # => "foo bar baz"
Related: String#<<, which takes a single argument.
Returns a new string copied from self, with trailing characters possibly removed.
Removes "\r\n" if those are the last two characters.
"abc\r\n".chop # => "abc" "тест\r\n".chop # => "тест" "こんにちは\r\n".chop # => "こんにちは"
Otherwise removes the last character if it exists.
'abcd'.chop # => "abc" 'тест'.chop # => "тес" 'こんにちは'.chop # => "こんにち" ''.chop # => ""
If you only need to remove the newline separator at the end of the string, String#chomp is a better alternative.
Returns a new string copied from self, with trailing characters possibly removed:
When line_sep is "\n", removes the last one or two characters if they are "\r", "\n", or "\r\n" (but not "\n\r"):
$/ # => "\n" "abc\r".chomp # => "abc" "abc\n".chomp # => "abc" "abc\r\n".chomp # => "abc" "abc\n\r".chomp # => "abc\n" "тест\r\n".chomp # => "тест" "こんにちは\r\n".chomp # => "こんにちは"
When line_sep is '' (an empty string), removes multiple trailing occurrences of "\n" or "\r\n" (but not "\r" or "\n\r"):
"abc\n\n\n".chomp('') # => "abc" "abc\r\n\r\n\r\n".chomp('') # => "abc" "abc\n\n\r\n\r\n\n\n".chomp('') # => "abc" "abc\n\r\n\r\n\r".chomp('') # => "abc\n\r\n\r\n\r" "abc\r\r\r".chomp('') # => "abc\r\r\r"
When line_sep is neither "\n" nor '', removes a single trailing line separator if there is one:
'abcd'.chomp('d') # => "abc" 'abcdd'.chomp('d') # => "abcd"
Like String#chop, but modifies self in place; returns nil if self is empty, self otherwise.

Like String#chomp, but modifies self in place; returns nil if no modification made, self otherwise.
Returns self truncated (toward zero) to a precision of ndigits decimal digits.
When ndigits is positive, returns a float with ndigits digits after the decimal point (as available):
f = 12345.6789 f.truncate(1) # => 12345.6 f.truncate(3) # => 12345.678 f = -12345.6789 f.truncate(1) # => -12345.6 f.truncate(3) # => -12345.678
When ndigits is negative, returns an integer with at least ndigits.abs trailing zeros:
f = 12345.6789 f.truncate(0) # => 12345 f.truncate(-3) # => 12000 f = -12345.6789 f.truncate(0) # => -12345 f.truncate(-3) # => -12000
Note that the limited precision of floating-point arithmetic may lead to surprising results:
(0.3 / 0.1).truncate #=> 2 (!)
Related: Float#round.
Returns true if self is less than 0, false otherwise.
Returns the numerator. The result is machine dependent.
n = 0.3.numerator #=> 5404319552844595 d = 0.3.denominator #=> 18014398509481984 n.fdiv(d) #=> 0.3
See also Float#denominator.
Returns the denominator (always positive). The result is machine dependent.
See also Float#numerator.
Returns a simpler approximation of the value (flt-|eps| <= result <= flt+|eps|). If the optional argument eps is not given, it will be chosen automatically.
0.3.rationalize #=> (3/10) 1.333.rationalize #=> (1333/1000) 1.333.rationalize(0.01) #=> (4/3)

Returns the Fiber scheduler, that was last set for the current thread with Fiber.set_scheduler. Returns nil if no scheduler is set (which is the default), and non-blocking fibers’ behavior is the same as blocking. (see “Non-blocking fibers” section in class docs for details about the scheduler concept).
The method is expected to immediately run the provided block of code in a separate non-blocking fiber.
puts "Go to sleep!" Fiber.set_scheduler(MyScheduler.new) Fiber.schedule do puts "Going to sleep" sleep(1) puts "I slept well" end puts "Wakey-wakey, sleepyhead"
Assuming MyScheduler is properly implemented, this program will produce:
Go to sleep! Going to sleep Wakey-wakey, sleepyhead ...1 sec pause here... I slept well
…e.g. on the first blocking operation inside the Fiber (sleep(1)), the control is yielded to the outside code (main fiber), and at the end of that execution, the scheduler takes care of properly resuming all the blocked fibers.
Note that the behavior described above is how the method is expected to behave, actual behavior is up to the current scheduler’s implementation of Fiber::Scheduler#fiber method. Ruby doesn’t enforce this method to behave in any particular way.
If the scheduler is not set, the method raises RuntimeError (No scheduler is available!).
Calls the block with each entry name in the directory at dirpath; sets the given encoding onto each passed entry_name:
Dir.foreach('/example') {|entry_name| p entry_name }
Output:
"config.h" "lib" "main.rb" ".." "."
Encoding:
Dir.foreach('/example') {|entry_name| p entry_name.encoding; break } Dir.foreach('/example', encoding: 'US-ASCII') {|entry_name| p entry_name.encoding; break }
Output:
#<Encoding:UTF-8> #<Encoding:US-ASCII>
See String Encoding.
Returns an enumerator if no block is given.
