class Integer

An Integer object represents an integer value.

You can create an Integer object explicitly with:

You can convert certain objects to Integers with:

An attempt to add a singleton method to an instance of this class causes an exception to be raised.

sqrt(numeric) → integer click to toggle source

Returns the integer square root of the non-negative integer n, which is the largest non-negative integer less than or equal to the square root of numeric.

Integer.sqrt(0)       # => 0
Integer.sqrt(1)       # => 1
Integer.sqrt(24)      # => 4
Integer.sqrt(25)      # => 5
Integer.sqrt(10**400) # => 10**200

If numeric is not an Integer, it is converted to an Integer:

Integer.sqrt(Complex(4, 0))  # => 2
Integer.sqrt(Rational(4, 1)) # => 2
Integer.sqrt(4.0)            # => 2
Integer.sqrt(3.14159)        # => 1

This method is equivalent to Math.sqrt(numeric).floor, except that the result of the latter code may differ from the true value due to the limited precision of floating point arithmetic.

Integer.sqrt(10**46)    # => 100000000000000000000000
Math.sqrt(10**46).floor # => 99999999999999991611392

Raises an exception if numeric is negative.

try_convert(object) → object, integer, or nil click to toggle source

If object is an Integer object, returns object.

Integer.try_convert(1) # => 1

Otherwise if object responds to :to_int, calls object.to_int and returns the result.

Integer.try_convert(1.25) # => 1

Returns nil if object does not respond to :to_int

Integer.try_convert([]) # => nil

Raises an exception unless object.to_int returns an Integer object.

static VALUE
int_s_try_convert(VALUE self, VALUE num)
{
    return rb_check_integer_type(num);

In principle, n[i] is equivalent to (n >> i) & 1. Thus, negative index always returns zero:

255[-1] # => 0

With arguments offset and size, returns size bits from self, beginning at offset and including bits of greater significance:

n = 0b111000       # => 56
"%010b" % n[0, 10] # => "0000111000"
"%010b" % n[4, 10] # => "0000000011"

With argument range, returns range.size bits from self, beginning at range.begin and including bits of greater significance:

n = 0b111000      # => 56
"%010b" % n[0..9] # => "0000111000"

to_f → float click to toggle source

Converts self to a Float:

1.to_f  # => 1.0
-1.to_f # => -1.0

If the value of self does not fit in a Float, the result is infinity:

(10**400).to_f  # => Infinity
(-10**400).to_f # => -Infinity
static VALUE
int_to_f(VALUE num)
{
    double val;

    if (FIXNUM_P(num)) {

    }

    return DBL2NUM(val);
}
to_i → self click to toggle source

Returns self (which is already an Integer).

# File numeric.rb, line 248
def to_i
  self
end
to_int → self click to toggle source

Returns self (which is already an Integer).

# File numeric.rb, line 256
def to_int
  self
end
to_r → rational click to toggle source

Returns the value as a rational.

1.to_r        #=> (1/1)
(1<<64).to_r  #=> (18446744073709551616/1)
static VALUE

{
    return rb_rational_new1(self);
}
to_s(base = 10) → string click to toggle source

Returns a string containing the place-value representation of self in radix base (in 2..36).

12345.to_s               # => "12345"
12345.to_s(2)            # => "11000000111001"
12345.to_s(8)            # => "30071"
12345.to_s(10)           # => "12345"
12345.to_s(16)           # => "3039"
12345.to_s(36)           # => "9ix"
78546939656932.to_s(36)  # => "rubyrules"

Raises an exception if base is out of range.

rb_int_to_s(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE x)
{
    int base;

    if (rb_check_arity(argc, 0, 1))
        base = NUM2INT(argv[0]);
    else
        base = 10;
    return rb_int2str(x, base);

truncate(ndigits = 0) → integer click to toggle source

Returns self truncated (toward zero) to a precision of ndigits decimal digits.

When ndigits is negative, the returned value has at least ndigits.abs trailing zeros:

555.truncate(-1)  # => 550
555.truncate(-2)  # => 500
-555.truncate(-2) # => -500

Returns self when ndigits is zero or positive.

555.truncate     # => 555
555.truncate(50) # => 555

static VALUE
int_truncate(int argc, VALUE* argv, VALUE num)

    int ndigits;

    if (!rb_check_arity(argc, 0, 1)) return num;
    ndigits = NUM2INT(argv[0]);
    if (ndigits >= 0) {
        return num;
    }
    return rb_int_truncate(num, ndigits);
}
upto(limit) {|i| ... } → self click to toggle source
upto(limit) → enumerator

Calls the given block with each integer value from self up to limit; returns self:

a = []
5.upto(10) {|i| a << i }              # => 5
a                                     # => [5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
a = []
-5.upto(0) {|i| a << i }              # => -5
a                                     # => [-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0]
5.upto(4) {|i| fail 'Cannot happen' } # => 5

With no block given, returns an Enumerator.

static VALUE
int_upto(VALUE from, VALUE to)
{
    RETURN_SIZED_ENUMERATOR(from, 1, &to, int_upto_size);
    if (FIXNUM_P(from) && FIXNUM_P(to)) {
        long i, end;

        end = FIX2LONG(to);
        for (i = FIX2LONG(from); i <= end; i++) {
            rb_yield(LONG2FIX(i));
        }
    }
    else {
        VALUE i = from, c;

        while (!(c = rb_funcall(i, '>', 1, to))) {
            rb_yield(i);
            i = rb_funcall(i, '+', 1, INT2FIX(1));
        }
        ensure_cmp(c, i, to);
    }
    return from;
}
zero? → true or false click to toggle source

Returns true if self has a zero value, false otherwise.

  Primitive.attr! :leaf
  Primitive.cexpr! 'rb_int_zero_p(self)'
end
self | other → integer click to toggle source

Bitwise OR; each bit in the result is 1 if either corresponding bit in self or other is 1, 0 otherwise:

"%04b" % (0b0101 | 0b0110) # => "0111"

Raises an exception if other is not an Integer.

static VALUE
int_or(VALUE x, VALUE y)
{
    if (FIXNUM_P(x)) {
        return fix_or(x, y);
    }
    else if (RB_BIGNUM_TYPE_P(x)) {
        return rb_big_or(x, y);
    }
    return Qnil;
}
~int → integer click to toggle source

One’s complement: returns the value of self with each bit inverted.

Because an integer value is conceptually of infinite length, the result acts as if it had an infinite number of one bits to the left. In hex representations, this is displayed as two periods to the left of the digits:

sprintf("%X", ~0x1122334455)    # => "..FEEDDCCBBAA"
# File numeric.rb, line 99
def ~
  Primitive.attr! :leaf
  Primitive.cexpr! 'rb_int_comp(self)'
