.find(obj, res, *args, &block) ⇒ Object

Provided with a receiver, the desired result and possibly some arguments, MethodFinder.find will list all methods that produce the given result when called on the receiver with the provided arguments.

MethodFinder.find(10, 1, 3)
#=> ["Fixnum#%", "Fixnum#<=>", "Fixnum#>>", "Fixnum#[]", ...]
MethodFinder.find("abc","ABC")
#=> ["String#swapcase", "String#swapcase!", "String#upcase", ...]
MethodFinder.find(10, 100, 2)
#=> ["Fixnum#**"]
MethodFinder.find(['a','b','c'], ['A','B','C']) { |x| x.upcase }
#=> ["Array#collect", "Array#collect!", "Enumerable#collect_concat", ...]

  end
end

.find_in_class_or_module(klass, pattern = /./) ⇒ Object

Searches for a given name within a class. The first parameter can either be a class object, a symbol or a string whereas the optional second parameter can be a string or a regular expression:

MethodFinder.find_in_class_or_module('Array', 'shuff')
#=> [:shuffle, :shuffle!]
MethodFinder.find_in_class_or_module(Float, /^to/)
#=> [:to_f, :to_i, :to_int, :to_r, :to_s]

If the second parameter is omitted, all methods of the class or module will be returned.

MethodFinder.find_in_class_or_module(Math)
#=> [:acos, :acosh, :asin ... :tanh]
