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.
Rational(3).truncate #=> 3 Rational(2, 3).truncate #=> 0 Rational(-3, 2).truncate #=> -1 # decimal - 1 2 3 . 4 5 6 # ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ # precision -3 -2 -1 0 +1 +2 Rational('-123.456').truncate(+1).to_f #=> -123.4 Rational('-123.456').truncate(-1) #=> -120
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)
Returns a new set that is a copy of the set, flattening each containing set recursively.
Equivalent to Set#flatten, but replaces the receiver with the result in place. Returns nil if no modifications were made.
Calls the given block once for each element in the set, passing the element as parameter. Returns an enumerator if no block is given.
Calls the given block with the value of each member; returns self:
Customer = Struct.new(:name, :address, :zip) joe = Customer.new("Joe Smith", "123 Maple, Anytown NC", 12345) joe.each {|value| p value }
Output:
"Joe Smith" "123 Maple, Anytown NC" 12345
Returns an Enumerator if no block is given.

Allocates space for a new object of class’s class and does not call initialize on the new instance. The returned object must be an instance of class.
klass = Class.new do def initialize(*args) @initialized = true end def initialized? @initialized || false end end klass.allocate.initialized? #=> false
Returns clean pathname of self with consecutive slashes and useless dots removed. The filesystem is not accessed.
If consider_symlink is true, then a more conservative algorithm is used to avoid breaking symbolic linkages. This may retain more .. entries than absolutely necessary, but without accessing the filesystem, this can’t be avoided.
See Pathname#realpath.
The opposite of Pathname#absolute?
It returns false if the pathname begins with a slash.
p = Pathname.new('/im/sure') p.relative? #=> false p = Pathname.new('not/so/sure') p.relative? #=> true
Returns the children of the directory (files and subdirectories, not recursive) as an array of Pathname objects.
By default, the returned pathnames will have enough information to access the files. If you set with_directory to false, then the returned pathnames will contain the filename only.
For example:
pn = Pathname("/usr/lib/ruby/1.8")
pn.children
# -> [ Pathname:/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/English.rb,
Pathname:/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/Env.rb,
Pathname:/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/abbrev.rb, ... ]
pn.children(false)
# -> [ Pathname:English.rb, Pathname:Env.rb, Pathname:abbrev.rb, ... ]
Note that the results never contain the entries . and .. in the directory because they are not children.
Creates a full path, including any intermediate directories that don’t yet exist.
See FileUtils.mkpath and FileUtils.mkdir_p
Returns the real (absolute) pathname for self in the actual filesystem.
Does not contain symlinks or useless dots, .. and ..
All components of the pathname must exist when this method is called.
Returns the real (absolute) pathname of self in the actual filesystem.
Does not contain symlinks or useless dots, .. and ..
The last component of the real pathname can be nonexistent.
See File.lstat.
Checks the status of the child process specified by pid. Returns nil if the process is still alive.
If the process is not alive, and raise was true, a PTY::ChildExited exception will be raised. Otherwise it will return a Process::Status instance.
pid
The process id of the process to check
raise
If true and the process identified by pid is no longer alive a PTY::ChildExited is raised.
