How to freeze objects in Ruby?
Sometimes a situation arises where we would want to freeze the object instance so that it cannot be instantiated or modified and in Ruby, we can do that with the help of the freeze keyword.The approach is to invoke the Object#freeze statement.When we freeze an object, we are basically turning it into a constant and it should be noted that once an object is frozen, cannot be unfrozen.SyntaxThe syntax to freeze an object is shown below.Object.freezeNow that we know a little about freeze, let's take a couple of example to understand how it works.Example 1Consider the code shown belowveggies = ...
Read MoreRange class methods in Ruby
Range is a class in Ruby. Ruby ranges represent a set of values that have a beginning and an end. A range can be represented as a number, character, string, or object. A range is constructed with start_point...end_point, start_point...endpoint literals, or with ::new. It provides flexibility and reduces the size of the code.There are different methods available to us in the range class methods; some of these are class methods whereas some are instance methods. In this article, we will explore both the class methods and the instance methods as well.The only class method available is the .new one.new MethodThe ...
Read MoreUnless statement and Unless modifier in Ruby
Unless StatementWe know that we can use the if statement when we want to run some code based on a condition that evaluates to True. Ruby also provides a special statement known as unless statement that can be used to run some code based on the condition that evaluates to False.It is quite the opposite of the if statement.SyntaxThe syntax of the unless statement is shown below.unless condition # some code else # some code endNow let's take a couple of examples to demonstrate how it works.Example 1Consider the code shown below# unless statement example num = 2 ...
Read MoreFind sub-matrix with the given sum in C++
In this problem, we are given a 2D matrix of size N*N and two variables sum and size. Our task is to find a sub-matrix with the given sum.We need to find a sub-matrix of size*size with element sum equal to sum.Let's take an example to understand the problem, Input : mat[][] = { {1, 5, 7, 9} {2, 4, 6, 8} {1, 2, 5, 6} {3, 6, 9, 3} } sum = 22 Size = 2 Output : YESExplanation −The submatrix of size k with sum 22 is {5, 7} {4, 6}Solution ApproachA simple solution ...
Read MoreHow to use BigDecimal in Ruby?
Using BigDecimal, you can perform floating point decimal arithmetic with arbitrary precision. Let's try to understand the BigDecimal usecase with the help of an example. We will take two examples, where the first one will make use of no BigDecimal and in the second example, we will use BigDecimal.Consider the code shown below, where we aren't making use of BigDecimal and adding some decimal values multiple times to a number.Example 1# without using bigInteger def calculateSum() sumOfNumbers = 0 10_000.times do sumOfNumbers = sumOfNumbers + 0.0001 end return sumOfNumbers end puts ...
Read MoreTranspose() function in Ruby Programming
The transpose function in Ruby is mainly used to return the transpose of an array or a matrix.Syntaxarray.transposeOrMatrix.transposeLet's take a couple of examples of the transpose function on array first and then on matrices.Example 1Consider the code shown below# transpose() in array # array declaration first_arr = [[18, 22], [33, 3], [8, 6]] # array declaration second_arr = [[1, 3, 2, 5, 88, 9]] # print statements puts "transpose() output : #{first_arr.transpose()}" puts "transpose() output : #{second_arr.transpose()}"Outputtranspose() output : [[18, 33, 8], [22, 3, 6]] transpose() output : [[1], [3], [2], [5], [88], [9]]Example 2# transpose() in ...
Read MoreArray push(), pop() and clear() functions in Ruby
The most widely used functions in Ruby when it comes to arrays are push(), pop(), and clear() functions. These functions are used when we want to enter, take out and clear the array data, respectively. In this article, we will learn about all these functions one by one.push() FunctionThe push function in Ruby is used to push elements at the end of an array. The function can accept single as well as multiple objects as arguments.Consider the code shown below as reference of the push() function.Example 1# push() function example in Ruby # few arrays first_arr = ["Letters", "a", ...
Read MoreString reverse vs reverse! function in Ruby
In Ruby, we have two functions available to us in case we want to reverse the contents of a string. These two functions are reverse and reverse!. While both of them are used to reverse the string, the only difference between them is that the reverse function reverses the string and then generates a new string, whereas the reverse! function reverses a string in place.reverse FunctionThe syntax of the reverse function is shown belownew_str = str.reverseNow, let's first look at an example of the reverse function in Ruby.Consider the code shown below.Example 1# the reverse method in Ruby str ...
Read MoreHow to push and pop elements in a queue in Ruby?
In this article, we will learn how to push (insert) and pop (remove) elements in a queue in Ruby.In Ruby, we can insert elements into a queue with the help of the push function. The syntax of the push function is shown below.queueName.push(element)Notice that the above syntax accepts one argument, which is the element that you want to insert into the queue. The result of the above command is that a new element will be added into the front of the queue.To remove an element from the queue, we can make use of the pop function. The syntax of the ...
Read MoreHash select() and select!() methods in Ruby
In Ruby, we make use of the select() method when we want to find the array from the hash based on the condition and we make use of the select!() method when we want to check whether the array from the hash is present or not.Let's explore a few examples of the hash select() method to understand it better.Example 1# Hash.select() method # Hash value first = { "first" => 150, "second" => 200 } # Hash value second = {"first" => 150} # Hash value third = {"first" => 150, "third" => 300, "second" => 200} ...
