Instance Method Details

#approx?(x, n = 0.0000001) ⇒ Boolean

Determines if another number is approximately equal within a given _n_th degree. Defaults to 100ths if the degree is not specified.

Currently defaults to 1/10,000,000 if the degree is not specified. But this may change once a “most commonly useful” factor is determined.

This is the same a #close? but has a different defualt.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

#clone? ⇒ Boolean

Returns:

def clone? ; false ; end

#close?(number, epsilon = 0.01) ⇒ Boolean

Determines if another number is approximately equal within a given epsilon.

This is the same a #approx? but has a different default. In this case it is 1/100th.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

def close?(number, epsilon=0.01)
  return(self == number) if epsilon.zero?

  a, b = self.to_f, number.to_f
  if a.zero? or b.zero?
    ## There's no scale, so we can only go on difference.
    (a - b).abs < epsilon
  else
    ## We go by ratio. The ratio of two equal numbers is one, so the ratio
    ## of two practically-equal floats will be very nearly one.
    (a/b - 1).abs < epsilon
  end
end

#delimit(options = {}) ⇒ Object

Returns a string representation of the number e.g.

1000.delimit # => "1,000"
1000000.delimit # => "1,000,000"
(1000000.1234).delimit # => "1,000,000.1234"

Can take a hash of options:

  • delimiter - defaults to “,” but can be any string

  • separator - defaults to “.” but can be any string

    1000.delimit(:delimiter => “_”) # => “1_000” (1000.00).delimit(:delimiter => “.”, :separator => “,”) # => “1.000,00”

def delimit(options = {})
  opts = { :delimiter => ',', :separator => '.' }.merge(options)
  digits, decimals = self.to_s.split('.')
  digits = digits.reverse.chars.each_slice(3).map(&:join).join(opts[:delimiter]).reverse
  return digits unless decimals
  [digits, decimals].join(opts[:separator])
end

#distance(other) ⇒ Object

Returns the distance between self an another value. This is the same as #- but it provides an alternative for common naming between variant classes.

4.distance(3)  #=> 1

# File 'lib/core/facets/numeric/distance.rb', line 9

def distance(other)
  self - other
end

#dup! ⇒ Object

Since Numeric is immutable it cannot be duplicated. For this reason #try_dup returns self.

1.dup!  #=> 1



76
 
# File 'lib/core/facets/object/dup.rb', line 76

def dup!   ; self  ; end

#dup? ⇒ Boolean

Returns:

  • (Boolean) 


77
 
# File 'lib/core/facets/object/dup.rb', line 77

def dup?   ; false ; end

#length ⇒ Object

Returns self, useful for polymorphic cases.

def length
  self

#negative? ⇒ Boolean

Is a number less than zero.

# File 'lib/core/facets/numeric/positive.rb', line 11

#range(value) ⇒ Object Also known as: plus_or_minus

Create a range from the number plus-or-minus a given value.

Return [Range]

# File 'lib/core/facets/numeric/range.rb', line 6

def range(value)
  Range.new(self - value, self + value)
end

#round_to(*args) ⇒ Object

Conceptually, rounding is expected to apply to floating point numbers. However it can actually be applied to pretty much any Numeric object. For example, one could round an Integer to the nearest kilo.

See Float#round_to.

def round_to(*args)
  to_f.round_to(*args)
end

#spacing ⇒ Object

Returns the size of the string representation of a numerical value.

   1.spacing   #=> 1
  10.spacing   #=> 2
 100.spacing   #=> 3
-100.spacing   #=> 4
 1.2.spacing   #=> 3

#to_b ⇒ Object

Provides a boolean interpretation of self. If self == 0 then false else true.

0.to_b    #=> false
1.to_b    #=> true
2.3.to_b  #=> true
