#eql?(other_meth) ⇒ Boolean #==(other_meth) ⇒ Boolean

Two method objects are equal if they are bound to the same object and refer to the same method definition and their owners are the same class or module.

Overloads:

  • #eql?(other_meth) ⇒ Boolean

    Returns:

    • (Boolean)
  • #==(other_meth) ⇒ Boolean

    Returns:

#arity ⇒ Fixnum

Returns an indication of the number of arguments accepted by a method. Returns a nonnegative integer for methods that take a fixed number of arguments. For Ruby methods that take a variable number of arguments, returns -n-1, where n is the number of required arguments. For methods written in C, returns -1 if the call takes a variable number of arguments.

#curry ⇒ Proc #curry(arity) ⇒ Proc

Returns a curried proc based on the method. When the proc is called with a number of arguments that is lower than the method’s arity, then another curried proc is returned. Only when enough arguments have been supplied to satisfy the method signature, will the method actually be called.

The optional arity argument should be supplied when currying methods with variable arguments to determine how many arguments are needed before the method is called.

  [a, b, c]
end
