10 % 2              # => 0
10 % 3              # => 1
10 % 4              # => 2

10 % -2             # => 0
10 % -3             # => -2
10 % -4             # => -2

10 % 3.0            # => 1.0
10 % Rational(3, 1) # => (1/1)

Numeric#modulo

Returns self modulo other as a real number.

Of the Core and Standard Library classes, only Rational uses this implementation.

For Rational r and real number n, these expressions are equivalent:

r % n
r-n*(r/n).floor
r.divmod(n)[1]

See Numeric#divmod.

Examples:

r = Rational(1, 2)    # => (1/2)
r2 = Rational(2, 3)   # => (2/3)
r % r2                # => (1/2)
r % 2                 # => (1/2)
r % 2.0               # => 0.5

r = Rational(301,100) # => (301/100)
r2 = Rational(7,5)    # => (7/5)
r % r2                # => (21/100)
r % -r2               # => (-119/100)
(-r) % r2             # => (119/100)
(-r) %-r2             # => (-21/100)

Float#modulo

Returns self modulo other as a float.

For float f and real number r, these expressions are equivalent:

f % r
f-r*(f/r).floor
f.divmod(r)[1]

See Numeric#divmod.

Examples:

10.0 % 2              # => 0.0
10.0 % 3              # => 1.0
10.0 % 4              # => 2.0

10.0 % -2             # => 0.0
10.0 % -3             # => -2.0
10.0 % -4             # => -2.0

10.0 % 4.0            # => 2.0
10.0 % Rational(4, 1) # => 2.0

Date#day_fraction

Returns the fractional part of the day in range (Rational(0, 1)…Rational(1, 1)):

DateTime.new(2001,2,3,12).day_fraction # => (1/2)

DateTime#sec_fraction

Returns the fractional part of the second in range (Rational(0, 1)…Rational(1, 1)):

DateTime.new(2001, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.5).sec_fraction # => (1/2)

PP::sharing_detection

Returns the sharing detection flag as a boolean value. It is false (nil) by default.

PP::sharing_detection=

Sets the sharing detection flag to b.

PStore#in_transaction

Raises PStore::Error if the calling code is not in a PStore#transaction.
