Int is the base type of all integer types.

There are five signed integer types: Int8, Int16, Int32, Int64 and Int128, being able to represent numbers of 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128 bits respectively. There are five unsigned integer types: UInt8, UInt16, UInt32, UInt64 and `UInt128.

An integer literal is an optional + or - sign, followed by a sequence of digits and underscores, optionally followed by a suffix. If no suffix is present, the literal's type is Int32, or Int64 if the number doesn't fit into an Int32:

1 # Int32

1_i8   # Int8
1_i16  # Int16
1_i32  # Int32
1_i64  # Int64
1_i128 # Int128

1_u8   # UInt8
1_u16  # UInt16
1_u32  # UInt32
1_u64  # UInt64
1_u128 # UInt128

+10 # Int32
-20 # Int32

2147483648 # Int64

Literals without a suffix that are larger than Int64::MAX represent a UInt64 if the number fits, e.g. 9223372036854775808 and 0x80000000_00000000. This behavior is deprecated and will become an error in the future.

The underscore _ before the suffix is optional.

Underscores can be used to make some numbers more readable:

1_000_000 # better than 1000000

Binary numbers start with 0b:

0b1101 # == 13

Octal numbers start with 0o:

0o123 # == 83

Hexadecimal numbers start with 0x:

0xFE012D # == 16646445
0xfe012d # == 16646445

See Integer literals in the language reference.

Instance methods

%(other : BigInt) : BigInt
Source
%(other : Int)

Returns self modulo other.

This uses floored division.

See Int#/ for more details.

Source
&*(other : BigInt) : BigInt
Source
&**(exponent : Int) : self

Returns the value of raising self to the power of exponent.

Raises ArgumentError if exponent is negative: if this is needed, either use a float base or a float exponent.

Intermediate multiplication will wrap around silently in case of overflow.

2 &** 3  # => 8
2 &** 0  # => 1
2 &** -1 # ArgumentError

&+(other : BigInt) : BigInt
Source
&-(other : BigInt) : BigInt

*(other : BigInt) : BigInt
Source
**(exponent : Int) : self

Returns the value of raising self to the power of exponent.

Raises ArgumentError if exponent is negative: if this is needed, either use a float base or a float exponent.

Raises OverflowError in case of overflow.

2 ** 3  # => 8
2 ** 0  # => 1
2 ** -1 # ArgumentError
Source
**(exponent : Float) : Float64

Returns the value of raising self to the power of exponent.

2 ** 3.0  # => 8.0

2 ** -1.0 # => 0.5
Source
+(other : BigInt) : BigInt
Source
-(other : BigInt) : BigInt
Source
//(other : Int::Primitive)

Divides self by other using floored division.

In floored division, given two integers x and y:

  • q = x / y is rounded toward negative infinity
  • r = x % y has the sign of the second argument
  • x == q*y + r

For example:

 x     y     x / y     x % y
 5     3       1         2
-5     3      -2         1
 5    -3      -2        -1
-5    -3       1        -2

Raises if other is zero, or if other is -1 and self is signed and is the minimum value for that integer type.

Source
<<(count : Int)

Returns the result of shifting this number's bits count positions to the left.

  • If count is greater than the number of bits of this integer, returns 0
  • If count is negative, a right shift is performed
8000 << 1  # => 16000
8000 << 2  # => 32000
8000 << 32 # => 0
8000 << -1 # => 4000

Source
<=>(other : Int) : Int32
Source
<=>(other : BigFloat) : Int32
Source
<=>(other : BigRational) : Int32
Source
<=>(other : BigDecimal)

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]
Source
===(char : Char)
Source
>>(count : Int)

Returns the result of shifting this number's bits count positions to the right. Also known as arithmetic right shift.

  • If count is greater than the number of bits of this integer, returns 0
  • If count is negative, a left shift is performed
8000 >> 1  # => 4000
8000 >> 2  # => 2000
8000 >> 32 # => 0
8000 >> -1 # => 16000

-8000 >> 1 # => -4000

“The number of bits” means that the bit position of the highest bit which is different to the sign bit. (The bit position of the bit 2**n is n+1.) If there is no such bit (zero or minus one), zero is returned.

I.e. This method returns ceil(log2(self < 0 ? -self : self + 1)).

humanize_bytes(io : IO, precision : Int = 3, separator = '.', *, significant : Bool = true, unit_separator = nil, format : BinaryPrefixFormat = :IEC) : Nil

Prints this integer as a binary value in a human-readable format using a BinaryPrefixFormat.

Values with binary measurements such as computer storage (e.g. RAM size) are typically expressed using unit prefixes based on 1024 (instead of multiples of 1000 as per SI standard). This method by default uses the IEC standard prefixes (Ki, Mi, Gi, Ti, Pi, Ei, Zi, Yi, Ri, Qi) based on powers of 1000 (see BinaryPrefixFormat::IEC).

format can be set to use the extended range of JEDEC units (K, M, G, T, P, E, Z, Y, R, Q) which equals to the prefixes of the SI system except for uppercase K and is based on powers of 1024 (see BinaryPrefixFormat::JEDEC).

to_s(io : IO, base : Int = 10, *, precision : Int = 1, upcase : Bool = false) : Nil

Appends a string representation of this integer to the given io.

base specifies the radix of the written string, and must be either 62 or a number between 2 and 36. By default, digits above 9 are represented by ASCII lowercase letters (a for 10, b for 11, etc.), but uppercase letters may be used if upcase is true, unless base 62 is used. In that case, lowercase letters are used for 10 to 35, and uppercase ones for 36 to 61, and upcase must be false.

precision specifies the minimum number of digits in the written string. If there are fewer digits than this number, the string is left-padded by zeros. If self and precision are both zero, returns an empty string.
