Class: Integer

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.

Since self is already an Integer, always returns true.

Returns true if self is an odd number, false otherwise.

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

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.

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

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.

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

Related: #round.

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.

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.

Related: #& (bitwise AND), #^ (bitwise EXCLUSIVE OR).

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"
