Overview

Arrays are ordered, integer-indexed collections of any object. Array indexing starts at 0, as in C or Java. A negative index is assumed to be relative to the end of the array---that is, an index of -1 indicates the last element of the array, -2 is the next to last element in the array, and so on.

Constructor Details

#new(size = 0, obj = nil) ⇒ Object #new(array) ⇒ Object #new(size) {|index| ... } ⇒ Object

Returns a new array. In the first form, the new array is empty. In the second it is created with size copies of obj (that is, size references to the same obj). The third form creates a copy of the array passed as a parameter (the array is generated by calling to_ary on the parameter). In the last form, an array of the given size is created. Each element in this array is calculated by passing the element's index to the given block and storing the return value.

Array.new
Array.new(2)
Array.new(5, "A")

# only one copy of the object is created
a = Array.new(2, Hash.new)
a[0]['cat'] = 'feline'
a
a[1]['cat'] = 'Felix'
a

# here multiple copies are created
a = Array.new(2) { Hash.new }
a[0]['cat'] = 'feline'
a

squares = Array.new(5) {|i| i*i}
squares

copy = Array.new(squares)

.try_convert(obj) ⇒ Array?

Try to convert obj into an array, using to_ary method. Returns converted array or nil if obj cannot be converted for any reason. This method can be used to check if an argument is an array.

Array.try_convert([1])   #=> [1]
Array.try_convert("1")   #=> nil

if tmp = Array.try_convert(arg)
  # the argument is an array
elsif tmp = String.try_convert(arg)

#*(int) ⇒ Object #*(str) ⇒ Object

Repetition---With a String argument, equivalent to self.join(str). Otherwise, returns a new array built by concatenating the int copies of self.

[ 1, 2, 3 ] * 3    #=> [ 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3 ]

#-(other_ary) ⇒ Object

Array Difference---Returns a new array that is a copy of the original array, removing any items that also appear in other_ary. (If you need set-like behavior, see the library class Set.)

}

#<<(obj) ⇒ Object

Append---Pushes the given object on to the end of this array. This expression returns the array itself, so several appends may be chained together.

[ 1, 2 ] << "c" << "d" << [ 3, 4 ]
        #=>  [ 1, 2, "c", "d", [ 3, 4 ] ]


# File 'array.c'

VALUE
rb_ary_push(VALUE ary, VALUE item)
{
    rb_ary_modify(ary);
    return rb_ary_push_1(ary, item);
}

#<=>(other_ary) ⇒ -1, ...

Comparison---Returns an integer (-1, 0, or +1) if this array is less than, equal to, or greater than other_ary. Each object in each array is compared (using <=>). If any value isn't equal, then that inequality is the return value. If all the values found are equal, then the return is based on a comparison of the array lengths. Thus, two arrays are "equal" according to Array#<=> if and only if they have the same length and the value of each element is equal to the value of the corresponding element in the other array.

[ "a", "a", "c" ]    <=> [ "a", "b", "c" ]   #=> -1
[ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ] <=> [ 1, 2 ]            #=> +1

Returns:

  • (-1, 0, +1, nil)

    return INT2FIX(-1);
}

#==(other_ary) ⇒ Boolean

Equality---Two arrays are equal if they contain the same number of elements and if each element is equal to (according to Object.==) the corresponding element in the other array.

[ "a", "c" ]    == [ "a", "c", 7 ]     #=> false
[ "a", "c", 7 ] == [ "a", "c", 7 ]     #=> true
[ "a", "c", 7 ] == [ "a", "d", "f" ]   #=> false

#[](index) ⇒ Object? #[](start, length) ⇒ nil #[](range) ⇒ nil #slice(index) ⇒ Object? #slice(start, length) ⇒ nil #slice(range) ⇒ nil

Element Reference---Returns the element at index, or returns a subarray starting at start and continuing for length elements, or returns a subarray specified by range. Negative indices count backward from the end of the array (-1 is the last element). Returns nil if the index (or starting index) are out of range.

a = [ "a", "b", "c", "d", "e" ]

#[]=(index) ⇒ Object #[]=(start, length) ⇒ Object? #[]=(range) ⇒ Object?

Element Assignment---Sets the element at index, or replaces a subarray starting at start and continuing for length elements, or replaces a subarray specified by range. If indices are greater than the current capacity of the array, the array grows automatically. A negative indices will count backward from the end of the array. Inserts elements if length is zero. An IndexError is raised if a negative index points past the beginning of the array. See also Array#push, and Array#unshift.

#fetch(index) ⇒ Object #fetch(index, default) ⇒ Object #fetch(index) {|index| ... } ⇒ Object

Tries to return the element at position index. If the index lies outside the array, the first form throws an IndexError exception, the second form returns default, and the third form returns the value of invoking the block, passing in the index. Negative values of index count from the end of the array.

#fill(obj) ⇒ Object #fill(obj, start[, length]) ⇒ Object #fill(obj, range) ⇒ Object #fill {|index| ... } ⇒ Object #fill(start[, length]) {|index| ... } ⇒ Object #fill(range) {|index| ... } ⇒ Object

The first three forms set the selected elements of self (which may be the entire array) to obj. A start of nil is equivalent to zero. A length of nil is equivalent to self.length. The last three forms fill the array with the value of the block. The block is passed the absolute index of each element to be filled. Negative values of start count from the end of the array.

a.fill("x")              #=> ["x", "x", "x", "x"]

Returns the index of the first object in self such that the object is == to obj. If a block is given instead of an argument, returns index of first object for which block is true. Returns nil if no match is found. See also Array#rindex.

If neither block nor argument is given, an enumerator is returned instead.

#packObject

Packs the contents of arr into a binary sequence according to the directives in aTemplateString (see the table below) Directives "A," "a," and "Z" may be followed by a count, which gives the width of the resulting field. The remaining directives also may take a count, indicating the number of array elements to convert. If the count is an asterisk ("*"), all remaining array elements will be converted. Any of the directives "sSiIlL" may be followed by an underscore ("_") or exclamation mark ("!") to use the underlying platform's native size for the specified type; otherwise, they use a platform-independent size. Spaces are ignored in the template string. See also String#unpack.

If the array is empty the first form returns nil and the second form returns an empty array.

#take_while {|arr| ... } ⇒ Object #take_whileObject

Passes elements to the block until the block returns nil or false, then stops iterating and returns an array of all prior elements.

If no block is given, an enumerator is returned instead.

#zip(arg, ...) ⇒ Object #zip(arg, ...) {|arr| ... } ⇒ nil

Converts any arguments to arrays, then merges elements of self with corresponding elements from each argument. This generates a sequence of self.size n-element arrays, where n is one more that the count of arguments. If the size of any argument is less than enumObj.size, nil values are supplied. If a block is given, it is invoked for each output array, otherwise an array of arrays is returned.

b = [ 7, 8, 9 ]
[1,2,3].zip(a, b)      #=> [[1, 4, 7], [2, 5, 8], [3, 6, 9]]
