Removes and returns trailing elements of self.
With no argument given, removes and returns the last element, if available; otherwise returns nil:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2] a.pop # => 2 a # => [:foo, "bar"] [].pop # => nil
With non-negative integer argument count given, returns a new array containing the trailing count elements of self, as available:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2] a.pop(2) # => ["bar", 2] a # => [:foo] a = [:foo, 'bar', 2] a.pop(50) # => [:foo, "bar", 2] a # => []

Returns true if the count of elements in self is zero, false otherwise.

With a block given, calls the block with each element of self; returns a new array containing those elements of self for which the block returns a truthy value:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2, :bam] a.select {|element| element.to_s.start_with?('b') } # => ["bar", :bam]
With no block given, returns a new Enumerator.

Returns a new array that is self as a transposed matrix:
a = [[:a0, :a1], [:b0, :b1], [:c0, :c1]] a.transpose # => [[:a0, :b0, :c0], [:a1, :b1, :c1]]
The elements of self must all be the same size.

Removes all elements from self; returns self:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2] a.clear # => []
Related: see Methods for Deleting.
Returns a new array containing only the non-nil elements from self; element order is preserved:
a = [nil, 0, nil, false, nil, '', nil, [], nil, {}] a.compact # => [0, false, "", [], {}]

Removes all nil elements from self; Returns self if any elements are removed, nil otherwise:
a = [nil, 0, nil, false, nil, '', nil, [], nil, {}] a.compact! # => [0, false, "", [], {}] a # => [0, false, "", [], {}] a.compact! # => nil

Returns a new array containing all but the first count element of self, where count is a non-negative integer; does not modify self.
Examples:
a = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5] a.drop(0) # => [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5] a.drop(1) # => [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] a.drop(2) # => [2, 3, 4, 5] a.drop(9) # => []

Returns true if no element of self meets a given criterion, false otherwise.
With no block given and no argument, returns true if self has no truthy elements, false otherwise:
[nil, false].none? # => true [nil, 0, false].none? # => false [].none? # => true
With argument object given, returns false if for any element element, object === element; true otherwise:
['food', 'drink'].none?(/bar/) # => true ['food', 'drink'].none?(/foo/) # => false [].none?(/foo/) # => true [0, 1, 2].none?(3) # => true [0, 1, 2].none?(1) # => false
With a block given, calls the block with each element in self; returns true if the block returns no truthy value, false otherwise:
[0, 1, 2].none? {|element| element > 3 } # => true [0, 1, 2].none? {|element| element > 1 } # => false

Returns true if exactly one element of self meets a given criterion.
With no block given and no argument, returns true if self has exactly one truthy element, false otherwise:
[nil, 0].one? # => true [0, 0].one? # => false [nil, nil].one? # => false [].one? # => false
With a block given, calls the block with each element in self; returns true if the block a truthy value for exactly one element, false otherwise:

Formats each element in self into a binary string; returns that string. See Packed Data.
Returns an array with both a numeric and a int represented as Integer objects or Float objects.
This is achieved by converting numeric to an Integer or a Float.
A TypeError is raised if the numeric is not an Integer or a Float type.
(0x3FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF+1).coerce(42) #=> [42, 4611686018427387904]
Calls the given block with each integer value from self up to limit; returns self:
a = [] 5.upto(10) {|i| a << i } # => 5 a # => [5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10] a = [] -5.upto(0) {|i| a << i } # => -5 a # => [-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0] 5.upto(4) {|i| fail 'Cannot happen' } # => 5
With no block given, returns an Enumerator.
Returns the remainder after dividing self by other.

Since self is already an Integer, always returns true.
Calls the given block self times with each integer in (0..self-1):
a = [] 5.times {|i| a.push(i) } # => 5 a # => [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]

Returns true if self has a zero value, false otherwise.
Returns self.
