Integer

An Integer object represents an integer value.

You can create an Integer object explicitly with:

An integer literal.

You can convert certain objects to Integers with:

Method Integer.

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

Integer.sqrt(numeric) → integer Link

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.

Integer.try_convert(object) → object, integer, or nil Link

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.

self % other → real_number Link

Returns self modulo other as a real number.

For integer n and real number r, these expressions are equivalent:

n % r
n-r*(n/r).floor
n.divmod(r)[1]

See Numeric#divmod.

Examples:

10 % 2              # => 0
10 % 3              # => 1
10 % 4              # => 2

10 % -3             # => -2
10 % -4             # => -2

self & other → integer Link

Bitwise AND; each bit in the result is 1 if both corresponding bits in self and other are 1, 0 otherwise:

"%04b" % (0b0101 & 0b0110) # => "0100"

Raises an exception if other is not an Integer.

self[offset] → 0 or 1
self[offset, size] → integer
self[range] → integer Link

Returns a slice of bits from self.

With argument offset, returns the bit at the given offset, where offset 0 refers to the least significant bit:

n[0]     # => 0
n[1]     # => 1
n[2]     # => 0
n[3]     # => 0

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"

This method returns ceil(log2(self < 0 ? -self : self + 1))>.

round(ndigits= 0, half: :up) → integer Link

Returns self rounded to the nearest value with a precision of ndigits decimal digits.

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

555.round(-1)      # => 560
555.round(-2)      # => 600
555.round(-3)      # => 1000
-555.round(-2)     # => -600
555.round(-4)      # => 0

Returns self when ndigits is zero or positive.

555.round     # => 555
555.round(1)  # => 555
555.round(50) # => 555

If keyword argument half is given, and self is equidistant from the two candidate values, the rounding is according to the given half value:

:up or nil: round away from zero:

25.round(-1, half: :up)      # => 30
(-25).round(-1, half: :up)   # => -30

:down: round toward zero:

25.round(-1, half: :down)    # => 20
(-25).round(-1, half: :down) # => -20

:even: round toward the candidate whose last nonzero digit is even:

25.round(-1, half: :even)    # => 20
15.round(-1, half: :even)    # => 20
(-25).round(-1, half: :even) # => -20

Raises and exception if the value for half is invalid.

Converts self to a Float:

self | other → integer Link

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.

~int → integer Link

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"
