Instance Method Details

#object_pointer ⇒ Object

Gets the object_id formatted in hexadecimal with a leading ‘0x’.

def object_pointer
  '0x' + self.object_id.to_s(16).rjust(12,'0').downcase
end

#to_bool ⇒ Object

Converts this object into a boolean value.

The true value returns true, as do the :true, :yes, and :on symbols. Any numeric not equal to 0 returns true. And the strings of ‘true’, ‘t’, ‘yes’, ‘y’, ‘on’, and ‘1’ (case-insensitive) return true. Everything else will return false, including nil.

This obviously differs from the Ruby behavior that only nil and false evaluate to false. This is not meant to replace that behavior, it was actually meant to enable simple usage of other values commonly used to the represent true and false (eg - 0 and 1).
