Returns a new array that is self as a transposed matrix:
a = [[:a0, :a1], [:b0, :b1], [:c0, :c1]] a.transpose # => [[:a0, :b0, :c0], [:a1, :b1, :c1]]
The elements of self must all be the same size.

Returns whether for some element element in self, object == element:
[0, 1, 2].include?(2) # => true [0, 1, 2].include?(2.0) # => true [0, 1, 2].include?(2.1) # => false

Returns one of the following:
The minimum-valued element from self.
A new array of minimum-valued elements from self.
Does not modify self.
With no block given, each element in self must respond to method <=> with a numeric.
With no argument and no block, returns the element in self having the minimum value per method <=>:
[1, 0, 3, 2].min # => 0
With non-negative numeric argument count and no block, returns a new array with at most count elements, in ascending order, per method <=>:
[1, 0, 3, 2].min(3) # => [0, 1, 2] [1, 0, 3, 2].min(3.0) # => [0, 1, 2] [1, 0, 3, 2].min(9) # => [0, 1, 2, 3] [1, 0, 3, 2].min(0) # => []
With a block given, the block must return a numeric.
With a block and no argument, calls the block self.size - 1 times to compare elements; returns the element having the minimum value per the block:
['0', '', '000', '00'].min {|a, b| a.size <=> b.size } # => ""
With non-negative numeric argument count and a block, returns a new array with at most count elements, in ascending order, per the block:
['0', '', '000', '00'].min(2) {|a, b| a.size <=> b.size } # => ["", "0"]

Returns a 2-element array containing the minimum-valued and maximum-valued elements from self; does not modify self.
With no block given, the minimum and maximum values are determined using method <=>:
[1, 0, 3, 2].minmax # => [0, 3]
With a block given, the block must return a numeric; the block is called self.size - 1 times to compare elements; returns the elements having the minimum and maximum values per the block:
['0', '', '000', '00'].minmax {|a, b| a.size <=> b.size } # => ["", "000"]
Related: see Methods for Fetching.
When a block and a positive integer-convertible object argument count (0 < count <= self.size) are given, calls the block with each combination of self of size count; returns self:
a = %w[a b c] # => ["a", "b", "c"] a.combination(2) {|combination| p combination } # => ["a", "b", "c"]
Output:
["a", "b"] ["a", "c"] ["b", "c"]
The order of the yielded combinations is not guaranteed.
When count is zero, calls the block once with a new empty array:
a.combination(0) {|combination| p combination } [].combination(0) {|combination| p combination }
Output:
[] []
When count is negative or larger than self.size and self is non-empty, does not call the block:
a.combination(-1) {|combination| fail 'Cannot happen' } # => ["a", "b", "c"] a.combination(4) {|combination| fail 'Cannot happen' } # => ["a", "b", "c"]
With no block given, returns a new Enumerator.

Returns elements from self, or nil; does not modify self.
With no argument given, returns the first element (if available):
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2] a.first # => :foo a # => [:foo, "bar", 2]
If self is empty, returns nil.
[].first # => nil
With a non-negative integer argument count given, returns the first count elements (as available) in a new array:
a.first(0) # => [] a.first(2) # => [:foo, "bar"] a.first(50) # => [:foo, "bar", 2]
Related: see Methods for Querying.
Returns elements from self, or nil; self is not modified.
With no argument given, returns the last element, or nil if self is empty:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2] a.last # => 2 a # => [:foo, "bar", 2] [].last # => nil
With non-negative integer argument count given, returns a new array containing the trailing count elements of self, as available:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2] a.last(2) # => ["bar", 2] a.last(50) # => [:foo, "bar", 2] a.last(0) # => [] [].last(3) # => []

Builds a command line string from an argument list array joining all elements escaped for the Bourne shell and separated by a space.
See Shellwords.shelljoin for details.
Returns a Hash containing implementation-dependent counters inside the VM.
This hash includes information about method/constant caches:
{
:constant_cache_invalidations=>2,
:constant_cache_misses=>14,
:global_cvar_state=>27
}
If USE_DEBUG_COUNTER is enabled, debug counters will be included.
The contents of the hash are implementation specific and may be changed in the future.
This method is only expected to work on C Ruby.
Returns self truncated (toward zero) to a precision of ndigits decimal digits.
When ndigits is negative, the returned value has at least ndigits.abs trailing zeros:
555.truncate(-1) # => 550 555.truncate(-2) # => 500 -555.truncate(-2) # => -500
Returns self when ndigits is zero or positive.
555.truncate # => 555 555.truncate(50) # => 555

Raises an exception if base is out of range.
Since self is already an Integer, always returns true.
