Integer

Integer is the basis for the two concrete classes that hold whole numbers, Bignum and Fixnum.

Public Instance Methods

ceil → integer click to toggle source

As int is already an Integer, all these methods simply return the receiver.

 
               static VALUE
int_to_i(VALUE num)
{
    return num;
}
chr([encoding]) → string click to toggle source

Returns a string containing the character represented by the receiver’s value according to encoding.

65.chr    #=> "A"
230.chr   #=> "\346"
255.chr(Encoding::UTF_8)   #=> "\303\277"

 
               static VALUE
int_chr(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE num)
{
    char c;
    unsigned int i;
    rb_encoding *enc;

    if (rb_num_to_uint(num, &i) == 0) {
    }
    else if (FIXNUM_P(num)) {
        rb_raise(rb_eRangeError, "%ld out of char range", FIX2LONG(num));
    }
    else {
        rb_raise(rb_eRangeError, "bignum out of char range");

            if (!enc) {
                rb_raise(rb_eRangeError, "%d out of char range", i);
            }
            goto decode;
        }
        c = (char)i;
        if (i < 0x80) {
            return rb_usascii_str_new(&c, 1);
        }
