Invokes Module.append_features on each parameter in reverse order.
Returns an array of Refinement defined within the receiver.
module A refine Integer do end refine String do end end p A.refinements
produces:
[#<refinement:Integer@A>, #<refinement:String@A>]
In the first form, returns an array of the names of all constants accessible from the point of call. This list includes the names of all modules and classes defined in the global scope.
Module.constants.first(4) # => [:ARGF, :ARGV, :ArgumentError, :Array] Module.constants.include?(:SEEK_SET) # => false class IO Module.constants.include?(:SEEK_SET) # => true end
The second form calls the instance method constants.
Callback invoked whenever the receiver is included in another module or class. This should be used in preference to Module.append_features if your code wants to perform some action when a module is included in another.
module A def A.included(mod) puts "#{self} included in #{mod}" end end module Enumerable include A end # => prints "A included in Enumerable"
Returns true if module is included or prepended in mod or one of mod’s ancestors.
module A end class B include A end class C < B end B.include?(A) #=> true C.include?(A) #=> true A.include?(A) #=> false
Returns a list of modules included/prepended in mod (including mod itself).
module Mod include Math include Comparable prepend Enumerable end Mod.ancestors #=> [Enumerable, Mod, Comparable, Math] Math.ancestors #=> [Math] Enumerable.ancestors #=> [Enumerable]
The first form is equivalent to attr_reader. The second form is equivalent to attr_accessor(name) but deprecated. The last form is equivalent to attr_reader(name) but deprecated. Returns an array of defined method names as symbols.
Returns an array of the names of the constants accessible in mod. This includes the names of constants in any included modules (example at start of section), unless the inherit parameter is set to false.
The implementation makes no guarantees about the order in which the constants are yielded.
IO.constants.include?(:SYNC) #=> true IO.constants(false).include?(:SYNC) #=> false
Also see Module#const_defined?.
Returns a string representing this module or class. For basic classes and modules, this is the name. For singletons, we show information on the thing we’re attached to as well.
With no arguments, sets the default visibility for subsequently defined methods to private. With arguments, sets the named methods to have private visibility. String arguments are converted to symbols. An Array of Symbols and/or Strings is also accepted. If a single argument is passed, it is returned. If no argument is passed, nil is returned. If multiple arguments are passed, the arguments are returned as an array.
module Mod def a() end def b() end private def c() end private :a end Mod.private_instance_methods #=> [:a, :c]
Note that to show a private method on RDoc, use :doc:.
Synonym for $stdout.
Returns a new Date object formed fom the arguments.
With no arguments, returns the date for January 1, -4712:
Date.ordinal.to_s # => "-4712-01-01"
With argument year, returns the date for January 1 of that year:
Date.ordinal(2001).to_s # => "2001-01-01" Date.ordinal(-2001).to_s # => "-2001-01-01"
With positive argument yday == n, returns the date for the nth day of the given year:
Date.ordinal(2001, 14).to_s # => "2001-01-14"
With negative argument yday, counts backward from the end of the year:
Date.ordinal(2001, -14).to_s # => "2001-12-18"
Raises an exception if yday is zero or out of range.
See argument start.
Returns true if self is a Friday, false otherwise.
Returns true if the date is on or after the date of calendar reform, false otherwise:
Date.new(1582, 10, 15).gregorian? # => true (Date.new(1582, 10, 15) - 1).gregorian? # => false
Returns the Julian start date for calendar reform; if not an infinity, the returned value is suitable for passing to Date#jd:
d = Date.new(2001, 2, 3, Date::ITALY) s = d.start # => 2299161.0 Date.jd(s).to_s # => "1582-10-15" d = Date.new(2001, 2, 3, Date::ENGLAND) s = d.start # => 2361222.0 Date.jd(s).to_s # => "1752-09-14" Date.new(2001, 2, 3, Date::GREGORIAN).start # => -Infinity Date.new(2001, 2, 3, Date::JULIAN).start # => Infinity
See argument start.
Equivalent to Date#new_start with argument Date::ENGLAND.
Equivalent to Date#new_start with argument Date::GREGORIAN.
Calls the block with specified dates; returns self.
The first date is self.
Each successive date is date + step, where step is the numeric step size in days.
The last date is the last one that is before or equal to limit, which should be a Date object.
Example:
limit = Date.new(2001, 12, 31) Date.new(2001).step(limit){|date| p date.to_s if date.mday == 31 }
Output:
"2001-01-31" "2001-03-31" "2001-05-31" "2001-07-31" "2001-08-31" "2001-10-31" "2001-12-31"
Returns an Enumerator if no block is given.
Returns a string representation of self:
Date.new(2001, 2, 3).inspect # => "#<Date: 2001-02-03 ((2451944j,0s,0n),+0s,2299161j)>"
Creates a DateTime object denoting the given ordinal date.
DateTime.ordinal(2001,34) #=> #<DateTime: 2001-02-03T00:00:00+00:00 ...> DateTime.ordinal(2001,34,4,5,6,'+7') #=> #<DateTime: 2001-02-03T04:05:06+07:00 ...> DateTime.ordinal(2001,-332,-20,-55,-54,'+7') #=> #<DateTime: 2001-02-03T04:05:06+07:00 ...>
Returns a string representation of self with subseconds:
t = Time.new(2000, 12, 31, 23, 59, 59, 0.5) t.inspect # => "2000-12-31 23:59:59.5 +000001"
Related: Time#ctime, Time#to_s:
t.ctime # => "Sun Dec 31 23:59:59 2000" t.to_s # => "2000-12-31 23:59:59 +0000"
Returns the integer minute of the hour for self, in range (0..59):
t = Time.new(2000, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) # => 2000-01-02 03:04:05 +000006 t.min # => 4
