Number
Inherits Comparable < Fractional::Arithmetic < Comparable < Steppable < Comparable < Value < Object
This is the built-in base type for all numbers. It's being minorly extended to allow for more robust fraction arithmetic.
Instance methods
Returns the product of self as a Fractional::Fraction with other.
Returns the sum of self as a Fractional::Fraction with other.
Returns the difference of self as a Fractional::Fraction with other.
Returns the quotient of self as a Fractional::Fraction with other.
The comparison operator. Returns 0 if the two objects are equal,
a negative number if this object is considered less than other,
a positive number if this object is considered greater than other,
or nil if the two objects are not comparable.
Subclasses define this method to provide class-specific ordering.
The comparison operator is usually used to sort values:
# Sort in a descending way:
[3, 1, 2].sort { |x, y| y <=> x } # => [3, 2, 1]
# Sort in an ascending way:
[3, 1, 2].sort { |x, y| x <=> y } # => [1, 2, 3]Dummy method that returns self to be compatible with Fraction::Fraction#reduce.
