Overview

******************************************************************

Float objects represent inexact real numbers using the native
architecture's double-precision floating point representation.

Floating point has a different arithmetic and is an inexact number.
So you should know its esoteric system. see following:

Constant Summary collapse

ROUNDS =

-1:: Indeterminable 0:: Rounding towards zero 1:: Rounding to the nearest number 2:: Rounding towards positive infinity 3:: Rounding towards negative infinity

Represents the rounding mode for floating point addition.

Usually defaults to 1, rounding to the nearest number.

Other modes include
RADIX =

The base of the floating point, or number of unique digits used to represent the number.

Usually defaults to 2 on most systems, which would represent a base-10 decimal.

INT2FIX(FLT_RADIX)
MANT_DIG =

The number of base digits for the double data type.

Usually defaults to 53.

INT2FIX(DBL_MANT_DIG)
DIG =

The minimum number of significant decimal digits in a double-precision floating point.

Usually defaults to 15.

INT2FIX(DBL_DIG)
MIN_EXP =

The smallest posable exponent value in a double-precision floating point.

Usually defaults to -1021.

INT2FIX(DBL_MIN_EXP)
MAX_EXP =

The largest possible exponent value in a double-precision floating point.

Usually defaults to 1024.

INT2FIX(DBL_MAX_EXP)
MIN_10_EXP =

The smallest negative exponent in a double-precision floating point where 10 raised to this power minus 1.

Usually defaults to -307.

INT2FIX(DBL_MIN_10_EXP)
MAX_10_EXP =

The largest positive exponent in a double-precision floating point where 10 raised to this power minus 1.

Usually defaults to 308.

INT2FIX(DBL_MAX_10_EXP)
MIN =

:MIN. 0.0.next_float returns the smallest positive floating point number including denormalized numbers.

The smallest positive normalized number in a double-precision floating point.

Usually defaults to 2.2250738585072014e-308.

If the platform supports denormalized numbers,
there are numbers between zero and Float
MAX =

The largest possible integer in a double-precision floating point number.

Usually defaults to 1.7976931348623157e+308.

DBL2NUM(DBL_MAX)
EPSILON =

The difference between 1 and the smallest double-precision floating point number greater than 1.

Usually defaults to 2.2204460492503131e-16.

DBL2NUM(DBL_EPSILON)
INFINITY =

An expression representing positive infinity.

DBL2NUM(INFINITY)
NAN =

An expression representing a value which is “not a number”.

DBL2NUM(NAN)

nil is returned if the two values are incomparable.

#round([ndigits]) ⇒ Integer, Float

Rounds float to a given precision in decimal digits (default 0 digits).

Precision may be negative. Returns a floating point number when ndigits is more than zero.

1.4.round      #=> 1
1.5.round      #=> 2
1.6.round      #=> 2
(-1.5).round   #=> -2

1.234567.round(2)  #=> 1.23
1.234567.round(3)  #=> 1.235
1.234567.round(4)  #=> 1.2346
1.234567.round(5)  #=> 1.23457

34567.89.round(-5) #=> 0
34567.89.round(-4) #=> 30000
34567.89.round(-3) #=> 35000
34567.89.round(-2) #=> 34600
34567.89.round(-1) #=> 34570
34567.89.round(0)  #=> 34568

#to_r ⇒ Object

Returns the value as a rational.

NOTE: 0.3.to_r isn’t the same as ‘0.3’.to_r. The latter is equivalent to ‘3/10’.to_r, but the former isn’t so.

2.0.to_r    #=> (2/1)
2.5.to_r    #=> (5/2)
-0.75.to_r  #=> (-3/4)
0.0.to_r    #=> (0/1)
