Integer

Integer is the basis for the two concrete classes that hold whole numbers, Bignum and Fixnum.

Public Instance Methods

As int is already an Integer, all these methods simply return the receiver.

int_to_i(VALUE num)
{
    return num;
}
chr([encoding]) → string click to toggle source

Returns a string containing the character represented by the receiver's value according to encoding.

230.chr   #=> "\346"
255.chr(Encoding::UTF_8)   #=> "\303\277"

 
               static VALUE
