Class Method Details

.zip(*arrays) ⇒ Object

Class level rendition of Array#zip.

arrays - List of arrays to zip. [Array<Array>]

Example:

Array.zip([1,2],[3,4]]
#=> [[1,3],[2,4]]

Returns arranged array of arrays. [Array<Array>]

Returns an empty array if no arguments are given. [Array]

end

Instance Method Details

#after(value) ⇒ Object

Returns the value after the given value. The value before the last is the first. Returns nil if the given value is not in the array.

Examples

sequence = ['a', 'b', 'c']
sequence.after('a')           #=> 'b'
sequence.after('b')           #=> 'c'
sequence.after('c')           #=> 'a'
sequence.after('d')           #=> nil

def after(value)
  return nil unless include? value
  self[(index(value).to_i + 1) % length]
end

#arrange ⇒ Object Also known as: rangify

The ‘arrange` method produces appropriate ranges from the objects in the array.

Examples

[1,2,3,6,7,8].arrange  #=> [1..3, 6..8]

[10..15, 16..20, 21, 22].arrange  #=> [10..22]

Assumes inclusive ranges (ie. 1..4) and range.first <= range.last.

Works with integers, dates and strings. However, all the objects in the array must be of the same class.

#average ⇒ Object

Calculate the average of an array of numbers

Examples

[].average #=> nil
[1, 2, 3].average #=> 2
[3, 12, 57, 85, 15, 89, 33, 7, 22, 54].average #=> 37.7
[1,[2,nil,[3]],nil,4].collapse  #=> [1,2,3,4]

  self.reduce(:+)/length.to_f
end

#before(value) ⇒ Object

Returns the value previous to the given value. The value previous to the first is the last. Returns nil if the given value is not in the array.

Examples

sequence = ['a', 'b', 'c']
sequence.before('a')           #=> 'c'
sequence.before('b')           #=> 'a'
sequence.before('c')           #=> 'b'

[1,[2,nil,[3]],nil,4].collapse  #=> [1,2,3,4]

end

#commonality(&block) ⇒ Object Also known as: collisions

Get a list of all items that have something in common in terms of the supplied block. If no block is given objects are considered to be in common if they return the same value for Object#hash and if obj1 == obj2.

This can be useful, for instance, in determining all persons that share their last name with another person.

persons.commonality { |person| person.last_name }

The method is similar to #group_by which is a standard Ruby method as of 1.9. To get effectively the same results with #group_by use ‘select{ |k,v| v.size > 1 }`.

[1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4].group_by{ |e| e }.select{ |k,v| v.size > 1 }
#=> { 2 => [2, 2], 4 => [4, 4] }

Examples

[1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4].commonality  #=> { 2 => [2, 2], 4 => [4, 4] }

["foo", "bar", "baz"].commonality { |str| str[0] }
#=> { 'b' => ["bar", "baz"] }

Returns [Hash] mapping common attribute to those elements.

    result[key] << item
  end

  result.reject! do |key, values|
    values.size <= 1
  end

  return result
end

#conjoin(*args, &block) ⇒ Object

This is more advanced form of #join. It allows for fine control of separators.

NOTE: The old version used to default its separator to “, ” and default the terminating separator to “ and ”. This is no longer the case. You must specifically provide these parameters.

If no paramters are given, it acts like #join but will a space separator.

[1,2,3].conjoin
#=> "1 2 3"

Use comma+space and ‘and’ on tail.

[1,2,3].conjoin(', ', ' and ')
#=> "1, 2 and 3"

Use comma+space and ‘or’ on tail using :last option.

[1,2,3].conjoin(', ', :last => ' or ')
#=> "1, 2 or 3"

Use semicolon+space and ampersand on tail using index.

[1,2,3].conjoin('; ', -1 => ' & ')
#=> "1; 2 & 3"

Can take a block to determine separator.

[1,2,3,4].conjoin{ |i, a, b| i % 2 == 0 ? '.' : '-' }
#=> "1.2-3.4"

This makes very esoteric transformation possible.

[1,1,2,2].conjoin{ |i, a, b| a == b ? '=' : ' != ' }
#=> "1=1 != 2=2"

[1,2,3,4].conjoin{ |i, x, y| "<#{i} #{x} #{y}>" }
#=> "1<0 1 2>2<1 2 3>3<2 3 4>4"

There are also spacing options. Providing the :space option pads the separators.

[1,2,3].conjoin(',', '&', :space=>2)
#=> "1  ,  2  &  3"

And the :spacer option can set an alternate spacing string.

[1,2,3].conjoin('|', '>', :space=>2, :spacer=>'-')
#=> "1--|--2-->--3"

#median(offset = 0) ⇒ Object

Determines the sorted middle element.

a = %w{a a b b c c c}

An offset can be supplied to get an element relative to the middle.

a = %w{a a b b c c c d}

In Statistics. mode is the value that occurs most frequently in a given set of data. This method returns an array in case there is a tie.

[:a, :b, :c, :b, :d].mode  #=> [:b]
[:a, :b, :c, :b, :a].mode  #=> [:a, :b]

#occur(n = nil) ⇒ Object Also known as: occurs

Returns a list of elements that occur n times.

If n is a Range then returns elements that occur a number of time within the range.

Examples

[0,1,1,1,3,0,1,2,4].occur(3) #=> [1]

[0,1,1,1,3,0,1,2,4].occur(2..4) #=> [0,1]

Returns [Array] of reoccurring elements.

a = [1, 2, 3]
a.peek          #=> 3

arr = ["a", ["b", "c", nil], nil]
arr.recurse{ |a| a.compact! }
#=> ["a", ["b", "c"]]

#recursively(*types, &block) ⇒ Object

Apply a method to array, and recursively apply that method to each sub-array or given types.

By default the sub-types are passed through unaffected. Passing a block to #recursively can be used to change this.

types - List of class types to recurse. [Array<Class>] block - Optional filter procedure to apply on each recursion.

Examples

arr = ["a", ["b", "c"]]
arr.recursively.map{ |v| v.to_sym }
#=> [:a, [:b, :c]]

arr = ["a", ["b", "c"]]
arr.recursively{ |a| a.reverse }.map{ |v| v.to_sym }

#reject_values(*values) ⇒ Object

Non-destructive form of ‘Array#delete_values`. Unlike `delete_values` this method returns a new array.

#splice(*args) ⇒ Object

Splice acts as a combination of #slice! and #store. If two arguments are given it calls #store. If a single argument is given it calls slice!.

Examples

a = [1,2,3]
a.splice(1)    #=> 2
a              #=> [1,3]

a = [1,2,3]
a.splice(1,4)  #=> 4
