Overview

Float objects represent inexact real numbers using the native architecture's double-precision floating point representation.

Floating point has a different arithmetic and is an inexact number. So you should know its esoteric system. See following:

Constant Summary

  • DIG =

    The minimum number of significant decimal digits in a double-precision floating point.

    Usually defaults to 15.

    # File 'numeric.c', line 5501 
    INT2FIX(DBL_DIG)
  • EPSILON =

    The difference between 1 and the smallest double-precision floating point number greater than 1.

    Usually defaults to 2.2204460492503131e-16.

    # File 'numeric.c', line 5553 
    DBL2NUM(DBL_EPSILON)

    An expression representing positive infinity.

    # File 'numeric.c', line 5557 
    DBL2NUM(INFINITY)
  • MANT_DIG =

    The number of base digits for the double data type.

    Usually defaults to 53.

    # File 'numeric.c', line 5494 
    INT2FIX(DBL_MANT_DIG)
  • MAX =

    The largest possible integer in a double-precision floating point number.

    Usually defaults to 1.7976931348623157e+308.

    The smallest positive normalized number in a double-precision floating point.

Usually defaults to 2.2250738585072014e-308.

If the platform supports denormalized numbers,
there are numbers between zero and Float
  • MIN_10_EXP =

    The smallest negative exponent in a double-precision floating point where 10 raised to this power minus 1.

    Usually defaults to -307.

    DBL2NUM(NAN)
  • RADIX =

    The base of the floating point, or number of unique digits used to represent the number.

    Usually defaults to 2 on most systems, which would represent a base-10 decimal.

    # File 'numeric.c', line 5488 
    INT2FIX(FLT_RADIX)
  • ROUNDS =

    Represents the rounding mode for floating point addition.

    0

    Rounding towards zero

    1

    Rounding to the nearest number

    2

    Rounding towards positive infinity

    3

    #ceil([ndigits])  ⇒ Integer, Float   



  

    

Returns the smallest number greater than or equal to float with a precision of ndigits decimal digits (default: 0).



When the precision is negative, the returned value is an integer with at least ndigits.abs trailing zeros.



Returns a floating point number when ndigits is positive, otherwise returns an integer.

    #to_f  ⇒ self   



  

    

Since float is already a Float, returns self.

      #to_i  ⇒ Integer

Returns the float truncated to an ::Integer.

Note that the limited precision of floating point arithmetic might lead to surprising results:

#to_int is an alias for #to_i.

Returns the value as a rational.

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

    #truncate([ndigits])  ⇒ Integer, Float   



  

    

Returns float truncated (toward zero) to a precision of ndigits decimal digits (default: 0).



When the precision is negative, the returned value is an integer with at least ndigits.abs trailing zeros.



Returns a floating point number when ndigits is positive, otherwise returns an integer.



2.8.truncate           #=> 2
(-2.8).truncate        #=> -2
1.234567.truncate(2)   #=> 1.23
34567.89.truncate(-2)  #=> 34500



Note that the limited precision of floating point arithmetic might lead to surprising results:



(0.3 / 0.1).truncate  #=> 2 (!)
