Returns the singleton class of obj. This method creates a new singleton class if obj does not have one.
If obj is nil, true, or false, it returns NilClass, TrueClass, or FalseClass, respectively. If obj is an Integer, a Float or a Symbol, it raises a TypeError.
Object.new.singleton_class #=> #<Class:#<Object:0xb7ce1e24>> String.singleton_class #=> #<Class:String> nil.singleton_class #=> NilClass
Returns the list of protected methods accessible to obj. If the all parameter is set to false, only those methods in the receiver will be listed.
Returns an array of instance variable names for the receiver. Note that simply defining an accessor does not create the corresponding instance variable.
class Fred attr_accessor :a1 def initialize @iv = 3 end end Fred.new.instance_variables #=> [:@iv]
Returns an enhanced message string:
Includes the exception class name.
If the value of keyword highlight is true (not nil or false), includes bolding ANSI codes (see below) to enhance the appearance of the message.
Includes the backtrace:
If the value of keyword order is :top (the default), lists the error message and the innermost backtrace entry first.
If the value of keyword order is :bottom, lists the error message the the innermost entry last.
Example:
def baz begin 1 / 0 rescue => x pp x.message pp x.full_message(highlight: false).split("\n") pp x.full_message.split("\n") end end def bar; baz; end def foo; bar; end foo
Output:
"divided by 0" ["t.rb:3:in 'Integer#/': divided by 0 (ZeroDivisionError)", "\tfrom t.rb:3:in 'Object#baz'", "\tfrom t.rb:10:in 'Object#bar'", "\tfrom t.rb:11:in 'Object#foo'", "\tfrom t.rb:12:in '<main>'"] ["t.rb:3:in 'Integer#/': \e[1mdivided by 0 (\e[1;4mZeroDivisionError\e[m\e[1m)\e[m", "\tfrom t.rb:3:in 'Object#baz'", "\tfrom t.rb:10:in 'Object#bar'", "\tfrom t.rb:11:in 'Object#foo'", "\tfrom t.rb:12:in '<main>'"]
An overriding method should be careful with ANSI code enhancements; see backtrace.

Returns the Encoding object that represents the encoding of the stream, or nil if the stream is in write mode and no encoding is specified.
See Encodings.
Returns the Encoding object that represents the encoding of the internal string, if conversion is specified, or nil otherwise.
See Encodings.
See Encodings.
Argument ext_enc, if given, must be an Encoding object or a String with the encoding name; it is assigned as the encoding for the stream.
Argument int_enc, if given, must be an Encoding object or a String with the encoding name; it is assigned as the encoding for the internal string.
Argument 'ext_enc:int_enc', if given, is a string containing two colon-separated encoding names; corresponding Encoding objects are assigned as the external and internal encodings for the stream.
If the external encoding of a string is binary/ASCII-8BIT, the internal encoding of the string is set to nil, since no transcoding is needed.
Optional keyword arguments enc_opts specify Encoding options.
Returns false if self is applicable to a string with any ASCII-compatible encoding; otherwise returns true:
r = /a/ # => /a/ r.fixed_encoding? # => false r.match?("\u{6666} a") # => true r.match?("\xa1\xa2 a".force_encoding("euc-jp")) # => true r.match?("abc".force_encoding("euc-jp")) # => true r = /a/u # => /a/ r.fixed_encoding? # => true r.match?("\u{6666} a") # => true r.match?("\xa1\xa2".force_encoding("euc-jp")) # Raises exception. r.match?("abc".force_encoding("euc-jp")) # => true r = /\u{6666}/ # => /\u{6666}/ r.fixed_encoding? # => true r.encoding # => #<Encoding:UTF-8> r.match?("\u{6666} a") # => true r.match?("\xa1\xa2".force_encoding("euc-jp")) # Raises exception. r.match?("abc".force_encoding("euc-jp")) # => false
Returns true for IPv4 multicast address (224.0.0.0/4). It returns false otherwise.
Returns true for IPv6 multicast address (ff00::/8). It returns false otherwise.
Returns the Encoding object that represents the encoding of the file. If the stream is write mode and no encoding is specified, returns nil.
Returns the Encoding of the internal string if conversion is specified. Otherwise returns nil.
Specify the encoding of the StringIO as ext_enc. Use the default external encoding if ext_enc is nil. 2nd argument int_enc and optional hash opt argument are ignored; they are for API compatibility to IO.
Returns the external encoding for files read from ARGF as an Encoding object. The external encoding is the encoding of the text as stored in a file. Contrast with ARGF.internal_encoding, which is the encoding used to represent this text within Ruby.
To set the external encoding use ARGF.set_encoding.
For example:
ARGF.external_encoding #=> #<Encoding:UTF-8>
Returns the internal encoding for strings read from ARGF as an Encoding object.
If ARGF.set_encoding has been called with two encoding names, the second is returned. Otherwise, if Encoding.default_external has been set, that value is returned. Failing that, if a default external encoding was specified on the command-line, that value is used. If the encoding is unknown, nil is returned.
If single argument is specified, strings read from ARGF are tagged with the encoding specified.
If two encoding names separated by a colon are given, e.g. “ascii:utf-8”, the read string is converted from the first encoding (external encoding) to the second encoding (internal encoding), then tagged with the second encoding.
If two arguments are specified, they must be encoding objects or encoding names. Again, the first specifies the external encoding; the second specifies the internal encoding.
If the external encoding and the internal encoding are specified, the optional Hash argument can be used to adjust the conversion process. The structure of this hash is explained in the String#encode documentation.
For example:
ARGF.set_encoding('ascii') # Tag the input as US-ASCII text ARGF.set_encoding(Encoding::UTF_8) # Tag the input as UTF-8 text ARGF.set_encoding('utf-8','ascii') # Transcode the input from US-ASCII # to UTF-8.
Returns the methods available to this delegate object as the union of this object’s and _getobj_ protected methods.
Creates an enumerator for each chunked elements. The beginnings of chunks are defined by the block.
This method splits each chunk using adjacent elements, elt_before and elt_after, in the receiver enumerator. This method split chunks between elt_before and elt_after where the block returns false.
The block is called the length of the receiver enumerator minus one.
The result enumerator yields the chunked elements as an array. So each method can be called as follows:
enum.chunk_while { |elt_before, elt_after| bool }.each { |ary| ... }
Other methods of the Enumerator class and Enumerable module, such as to_a, map, etc., are also usable.
For example, one-by-one increasing subsequence can be chunked as follows:
a = [1,2,4,9,10,11,12,15,16,19,20,21] b = a.chunk_while {|i, j| i+1 == j } p b.to_a #=> [[1, 2], [4], [9, 10, 11, 12], [15, 16], [19, 20, 21]] c = b.map {|a| a.length < 3 ? a : "#{a.first}-#{a.last}" } p c #=> [[1, 2], [4], "9-12", [15, 16], "19-21"] d = c.join(",") p d #=> "1,2,4,9-12,15,16,19-21"
Increasing (non-decreasing) subsequence can be chunked as follows:
a = [0, 9, 2, 2, 3, 2, 7, 5, 9, 5] p a.chunk_while {|i, j| i <= j }.to_a #=> [[0, 9], [2, 2, 3], [2, 7], [5, 9], [5]]
Adjacent evens and odds can be chunked as follows: (Enumerable#chunk is another way to do it.)
a = [7, 5, 9, 2, 0, 7, 9, 4, 2, 0] p a.chunk_while {|i, j| i.even? == j.even? }.to_a #=> [[7, 5, 9], [2, 0], [7, 9], [4, 2, 0]]
Enumerable#slice_when does the same, except splitting when the block returns true instead of false.
