Returns a string containing a detailed summary of the keys and values.
Returns a string representation of self, including begin.inspect and end.inspect:
(1..4).inspect # => "1..4" (1...4).inspect # => "1...4" (1..).inspect # => "1.." (..4).inspect # => "..4"
Note that returns from to_s and inspect may differ:
('a'..'d').to_s # => "a..d" ('a'..'d').inspect # => "\"a\"..\"d\""
Related: Range#to_s.
Returns true if object is an element of self, false otherwise:
(1..4).include?(2) # => true (1..4).include?(5) # => false (1..4).include?(4) # => true (1...4).include?(4) # => false ('a'..'d').include?('b') # => true ('a'..'d').include?('e') # => false ('a'..'d').include?('B') # => false ('a'..'d').include?('d') # => true ('a'...'d').include?('d') # => false
If begin and end are numeric, include? behaves like cover?
(1..3).include?(1.5) # => true (1..3).cover?(1.5) # => true
But when not numeric, the two methods may differ:
('a'..'d').include?('cc') # => false ('a'..'d').cover?('cc') # => true
Related: Range#cover?.
Returns the count of elements, based on an argument or block criterion, if given.
With no argument and no block given, returns the number of elements:
(1..4).count # => 4 (1...4).count # => 3 ('a'..'d').count # => 4 ('a'...'d').count # => 3 (1..).count # => Infinity (..4).count # => Infinity
With argument object, returns the number of object found in self, which will usually be zero or one:
(1..4).count(2) # => 1 (1..4).count(5) # => 0 (1..4).count('a') # => 0
With a block given, calls the block with each element; returns the number of elements for which the block returns a truthy value:
(1..4).count {|element| element < 3 } # => 2
Related: Range#size.
Returns true if rat is greater than 0.
Returns true if rat is less than 0.
Returns rat rounded to the nearest value with 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).round #=> 3 Rational(2, 3).round #=> 1 Rational(-3, 2).round #=> -2 # decimal - 1 2 3 . 4 5 6 # ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ # precision -3 -2 -1 0 +1 +2 Rational('-123.456').round(+1).to_f #=> -123.5 Rational('-123.456').round(-1) #=> -120
The optional half keyword argument is available similar to Float#round.
Rational(25, 100).round(1, half: :up) #=> (3/10) Rational(25, 100).round(1, half: :down) #=> (1/5) Rational(25, 100).round(1, half: :even) #=> (1/5) Rational(35, 100).round(1, half: :up) #=> (2/5) Rational(35, 100).round(1, half: :down) #=> (3/10) Rational(35, 100).round(1, half: :even) #=> (2/5) Rational(-25, 100).round(1, half: :up) #=> (-3/10) Rational(-25, 100).round(1, half: :down) #=> (-1/5) Rational(-25, 100).round(1, half: :even) #=> (-1/5)
Returns the value as a string for inspection.
Rational(2).inspect #=> "(2/1)" Rational(-8, 6).inspect #=> "(-4/3)" Rational('1/2').inspect #=> "(1/2)"
Returns a nicely-formatted string representation of self:
/ab+c/ix.inspect # => "/ab+c/ix"
Related: Regexp#to_s.
It returns the timeout interval for Regexp matching in second. nil means no default timeout configuration.
This configuration is per-object. The global configuration set by Regexp.timeout= is ignored if per-object configuration is set.
re = Regexp.new("^a*b?a*$", timeout: 1) re.timeout #=> 1.0 re =~ "a" * 100000 + "x" #=> regexp match timeout (RuntimeError)
It returns the current default timeout interval for Regexp matching in second. nil means no default timeout configuration.
It sets the default timeout interval for Regexp matching in second. nil means no default timeout configuration. This configuration is process-global. If you want to set timeout for each Regexp, use timeout keyword for Regexp.new.
Regexp.timeout = 1 /^a*b?a*$/ =~ "a" * 100000 + "x" #=> regexp match timeout (RuntimeError)
Returns true if the set contains the given object.
Note that include? and member? do not test member equality using == as do other Enumerables.
See also Enumerable#include?
Returns true if the set and the given enumerable have at least one element in common.
Set[1, 2, 3].intersect? Set[4, 5] #=> false Set[1, 2, 3].intersect? Set[3, 4] #=> true Set[1, 2, 3].intersect? 4..5 #=> false Set[1, 2, 3].intersect? [3, 4] #=> true
Equivalent to Set#delete_if, but returns nil if no changes were made. Returns an enumerator if no block is given.
Deletes every element that appears in the given enumerable object and returns self.
Returns a string containing a human-readable representation of the set (“#<Set: {element1, element2, …}>”).
Returns a string representation of self:
Customer = Struct.new(:name, :address, :zip) # => Customer joe = Customer.new("Joe Smith", "123 Maple, Anytown NC", 12345) joe.inspect # => "#<struct Customer name=\"Joe Smith\", address=\"123 Maple, Anytown NC\", zip=12345>"
Returns a string representation of self (including the leading colon):
:foo.inspect # => ":foo"
Related: Symbol#to_s, Symbol#name.
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 birth time for the file. If the platform doesn’t have birthtime, raises NotImplementedError.
See File.birthtime.
