abstract struct Int
inherits Number

Int is the base type of all integer types.

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

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 the lowest between Int32, Int64 and UInt64 in which the number fits:

1 # Int32

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

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

+10 # Int32
-20 # Int32

2147483648          # Int64
9223372036854775808 # UInt64

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

Methods

#%(other : BigInt) : BigInt

View source

#%(other : Int)

Returns self modulo other.

This uses floored division.

See Int#/ for more details.

View source

#&*(other : BigInt) : BigInt

View 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

View source

#&-(other : BigInt) : BigInt

#*(other : BigDecimal)

View source

#*(other : BigInt) : BigInt

View source

#*(other : BigRational)

View source

#**(exponent : Float) : Float64

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

2 ** 3.0  # => 8.0
2 ** 0.0  # => 1.0
2 ** -1.0 # => 0.5
View 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
View source

#+(other : BigDecimal)

View source

#+(other : BigInt) : BigInt

View source

#+(other : BigRational)

View source

#-(other : BigDecimal)

View source

#-(other : BigInt) : BigInt

View source

#-(other : BigRational)

View source

#/(other : BigRational)

View 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.

#<<(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
View 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]

View source

#<=>(other : Int) : Int32

View source

#<=>(other : BigInt)

View source

#===(char : Char)

View 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

11.bit(3) # => 1
11.bit(4) # => 0
View source

#bit_length : Int32

Returns the number of bits of this int value.

“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)).

1.bit_length # => 1
2.bit_length # => 2
3.bit_length # => 2

#humanize_bytes(precision : Int = 3, separator = '.', *, significant : Bool = true, format : BinaryPrefixFormat = :IEC) : String

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) 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) which equals to the prefixes of the SI system except for uppercase K and is based on powers of 1024 (see BinaryPrefixFormat::JEDEC).

1.humanize_bytes                        # => "1B"
1024.humanize_bytes                     # => "1.0kiB"

In truncated division, given two integers x and y: * q = x.tdiv(y) is rounded toward zero * r = x.remainder(y) has the sign of the first argument * x == q*y + r

-5     3      -1        -2
