Class: Numeric

Defined in:

Overview

class Numeric

Modify #> and #< because 5 < RangeExtd::Infinity::POSITIVE raises ArgumentError(!). In other words, Integer#< does not respect Object#<=> but rewrites it.

I do not know if it has been always the case, or some changes have been made in more recent versions of Ruby.

Note that Float#< etc need to be redefined individually, because they seem not to use Numeric#< any more.
