Support for the Ruby 2.4 series has ended. See here for reference.
The global value false is the only instance of class FalseClass and represents a logically false value in boolean expressions. The class provides operators allowing false to participate correctly in logical expressions.
And—Returns false. obj is always evaluated as it is the argument to a method call—there is no short-circuit evaluation in this case.
static VALUE
false_and(VALUE obj, VALUE obj2)
{
return Qfalse;
}
Case Equality – For class Object, effectively the same as calling #==, but typically overridden by descendants to provide meaningful semantics in case statements.
VALUE
rb_equal(VALUE obj1, VALUE obj2)
{
VALUE result;
if (obj1 == obj2) return Qtrue;
result = rb_funcall(obj1, id_eq, 1, obj2);
if (RTEST(result)) return Qtrue;
return Qfalse;
}
Exclusive Or—If obj is nil or false, returns false; otherwise, returns true.
static VALUE
false_xor(VALUE obj, VALUE obj2)
{
return RTEST(obj2)?Qtrue:Qfalse;
}
