<=>
|
flt <=> aNumeric
-> -1, 0, +1
|
|
Returns -1, 0, or +1 depending on whether flt is less
than, equal to, or greater than aNumeric. This is the
basis for the tests in Comparable.
|
|
ceil
|
flt.ceil -> anInteger
|
|
Returns the smallest Integer greater than or equal to flt.

|
finite?
|
flt.finite? -> true or false
|
|
Returns true if flt is a valid IEEE floating point
number (it is not infinite, and nan? is false).
|
|
floor
|
flt.floor -> anInteger
|
|
Returns the largest integer less than or equal to flt.

|
|
round
|
flt.round -> anInteger
|
|
Rounds flt to the nearest integer. Equivalent to:
def round
return floor(self+0.5) if self > 0.0
return ceil(self-0.5) if self < 0.0
return 0.0
end

to_f
|
flt.to_f -> flt
|
|
Returns flt.
|
|
to_i
|
flt.to_i -> anInteger
|
|
Returns flt truncated to an Integer.
|
|
to_s
|
flt.to_s -> aString
|
|
Returns a string containing a representation of self. As well as
a fixed or exponential form of the number, the call may return
``NaN'', ``Infinity'', and ``-Infinity''.
