Method: String#to_r

Defined in:
rational.c

#to_r ⇒ Object

Returns a rational which denotes the string form. The parser ignores leading whitespaces and trailing garbage. Any digit sequences can be separated by an underscore. Returns zero for null or garbage string.

NOTE: ‘0.3’.to_r isn’t the same as 0.3.to_r. The former is equivalent to ‘3/10’.to_r, but the latter isn’t so.

'  2  '.to_r       #=> (2/1)
'300/2'.to_r       #=> (150/1)
'-9.2'.to_r        #=> (-46/5)
'-9.2e2'.to_r      #=> (-920/1)
'1_234_567'.to_r   #=> (1234567/1)
'21 june 09'.to_r  #=> (21/1)
'21/06/09'.to_r    #=> (7/2)
'bwv 1079'.to_r    #=> (0/1)
