Instance Method Details

#blank? ⇒ Boolean

'true' if the integer is 0

Returns:

  • (Boolean) 

61
 
# File 'lib/epitools/core_ext/truthiness.rb', line 61

def blank?; self == 0; end

#fact ⇒ Object Also known as: factorial

Factorial

def fact
  if self < 0
    -(1..-self).reduce(:*)
  elsif self == 0
    1
  else
    (1..self).reduce(:*)
  end
end

#factors ⇒ Object

Returns the all the prime factors of a number.

def factors
  Prime # autoload the prime module
  prime_division.map { |n,count| [n]*count }.flatten
end

#fib ⇒ Object Also known as: fibonacci

Fibonacci (recursive style)

366
 
# File 'lib/epitools/core_ext/numbers.rb', line 364

def fib
  self < 2 ? self : (self-1).fib + (self-2).fib
end

#integer? ⇒ Boolean

Returns:

  • (Boolean) 

63
 
# File 'lib/epitools/core_ext/truthiness.rb', line 63

def integer?; true; end

#invert ⇒ Object

Flip all bits except the sign bit.

NOTE: This method should only be used with unsigned integers; if you use it with a signed integer, it will only flip the non-sign bits (I dunno if that's useful for anything; nothing comes to mind.)

# File 'lib/epitools/core_ext/numbers.rb', line 376

def invert
  to_s(2).tr("01","10").to_i(2)
end

#prime? ⇒ Boolean

Am I a prime number?

Returns:

  • (Boolean) 

319
320
321
 
# File 'lib/epitools/core_ext/numbers.rb', line 319

def prime?
  Prime.prime? self
end

#primes(starting_at = 2) ⇒ Object

Return a specified number of primes (optionally starting at the argument)

  result  = []
  current = starting_at

  loop do
    if current.prime?
      result << current
      return result if result.size >= self
    end
    current += 1
  end
end

#to_base(base = 10) ⇒ Object

Convert a number into a string representation (encoded in a base <= 64).

The number is represented usiing the characters: 0..9, A..Z, a..z, _, -

(Setting base to 64 results in the encoding scheme that YouTube and url shorteners use for their ID strings, eg: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ)

  ("%b" % self).chars.to_a.reverse.map(&:to_i)
end

#to_hex ⇒ Object

Convert the number into a hexadecimal string representation. (Identical to to_s(16), except that numbers < 16 will have a 0 in front of them.)
