#new(start, end) ⇒ Object

Constructs a range using the given start and end. If the third parameter is omitted or is false, the range will include the end object; otherwise, it will be excluded.

Instance Method Details

#==(obj) ⇒ Boolean

Returns true only if obj is a Range, has equivalent beginning and end items (by comparing them with ==), and has the same #exclude_end? setting as <i>rng</t>.

(0..2) == (0..2)            #=> true
(0..2) == Range.new(0,2)    #=> true
(0..2) == (0...2)           #=> false

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

    if (EXCL(range) != EXCL(obj)) return Qfalse;

    return Qtrue;
}

#===(obj) ⇒ Boolean #member?(val) ⇒ Boolean #include?(val) ⇒ Boolean

Returns true if obj is an element of rng, false otherwise. Conveniently, === is the comparison operator used by case statements.

case 79
when 1..50   then   print "low\n"
when 51..75  then   print "medium\n"
when 76..100 then   print "high\n"
end

# File 'range.c'

static VALUE
range_first(range)
    VALUE range;

#each {|i| ... } ⇒ Object

Iterates over the elements rng, passing each in turn to the block. You can only iterate if the start object of the range supports the succ method (which means that you can't iterate over ranges of Float objects).

(10..15).each do |n|
   print n, ' '
end

produces:

10 11 12 13 14 15

Yields:

  • (i)

#step(n = 1) {|obj| ... } ⇒ Object

Iterates over rng, passing each nth element to the block. If the range contains numbers or strings, natural ordering is used. Otherwise step invokes succ to iterate through range elements. The following code uses class Xs, which is defined in the class-level documentation.

range = Xs.new(1)..Xs.new(10)
range.step(2) {|x| puts x}
range.step(3) {|x| puts x}

produces:

 1 x
 3 xxx
 5 xxxxx
 7 xxxxxxx
 9 xxxxxxxxx
 1 x
 4 xxxx
 7 xxxxxxx
10 xxxxxxxxxx

Yields:

  • (obj)
