Returns self truncated (toward zero) to a precision of digits decimal digits.
Numeric implements this by converting self to a Float and invoking Float#truncate.
Concatenates each object in objects to self and returns self:
s = 'foo' s.concat('bar', 'baz') # => "foobarbaz" s # => "foobarbaz"
For each given object object that is an Integer, the value is considered a codepoint and converted to a character before concatenation:
s = 'foo' s.concat(32, 'bar', 32, 'baz') # => "foo bar baz"
Related: String#<<, which takes a single argument.
Returns self truncated (toward zero) to a precision of ndigits decimal digits.
When ndigits is positive, returns a float with ndigits digits after the decimal point (as available):
f = 12345.6789 f.truncate(1) # => 12345.6 f.truncate(3) # => 12345.678 f = -12345.6789 f.truncate(1) # => -12345.6 f.truncate(3) # => -12345.678
When ndigits is negative, returns an integer with at least ndigits.abs trailing zeros:
f = 12345.6789 f.truncate(0) # => 12345 f.truncate(-3) # => 12000 f = -12345.6789 f.truncate(0) # => -12345 f.truncate(-3) # => -12000
Note that the limited precision of floating-point arithmetic may lead to surprising results:
(0.3 / 0.1).truncate #=> 2 (!)
Related: Float#round.
Returns the change time for the named file (the time at which directory information about the file was changed, not the file itself).
file_name can be an IO object.
Note that on Windows (NTFS), returns creation time (birth time).
File.ctime("testfile") #=> Wed Apr 09 08:53:13 CDT 2003
Truncates the file file_name to be at most integer bytes long. Not available on all platforms.
f = File.new("out", "w") f.write("1234567890") #=> 10 f.close #=> nil File.truncate("out", 5) #=> 0 File.size("out") #=> 5
Returns the change time for file (that is, the time directory information about the file was changed, not the file itself).
Note that on Windows (NTFS), returns creation time (birth time).
File.new("testfile").ctime #=> Wed Apr 09 08:53:14 CDT 2003
Truncates file to at most integer bytes. The file must be opened for writing. Not available on all platforms.
f = File.new("out", "w") f.syswrite("1234567890") #=> 10 f.truncate(5) #=> 0 f.close() #=> nil File.size("out") #=> 5

Invokes Posix system call ioctl(2), which issues a low-level command to an I/O device.
Issues a low-level command to an I/O device. The arguments and returned value are platform-dependent. The effect of the call is platform-dependent.
If argument argument is an integer, it is passed directly; if it is a string, it is interpreted as a binary sequence of bytes.
Not implemented on all platforms.
Returns rat truncated (toward zero) to 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.
