    NilClass

    The class of the singleton object nil.

    Public Instance Methods

    false & obj → false click to toggle source
    nil & obj → false

    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;
}
    obj === other → true or false click to toggle source

    Case Equality - For class , 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_equal_opt(obj1, obj2);
 if (result == Qundef) {
 result = rb_funcall(obj1, id_eq, 1, obj2);
 }
 if (RTEST(result)) return Qtrue;
 return Qfalse;
}
    nil =~ other → nil click to toggle source

    Dummy pattern matching - always returns nil. 

     static VALUE
nil_match(VALUE obj1, VALUE obj2)
{
 return Qnil;
}
    false ^ obj → true or false click to toggle source
    nil ^ obj → true or false

    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;
}
    inspect → "nil" click to toggle source

    Always returns the string "nil". 

     static VALUE
nil_inspect(VALUE obj)
{
 return rb_usascii_str_new2("nil");
}
    nil? → true click to toggle source

    Only the object nil responds true to nil?. 

     static VALUE
rb_true(VALUE obj)
{
 return Qtrue;
}
    rationalize([eps]) → (0/1) click to toggle source

    Returns zero as a rational. The optional argument eps is always ignored. 

     static VALUE
nilclass_rationalize(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE self)
{
 rb_check_arity(argc, 0, 1);
 return nilclass_to_r(self);
}
    to_a → [] click to toggle source

    Always returns an empty array. 

    nil.to_a #=> []

     static VALUE
nil_to_a(VALUE obj)
{
 return rb_ary_new2(0);
}
    to_c → (0+0i) click to toggle source

    Returns zero as a complex. 

     static VALUE
nilclass_to_c(VALUE self)
{
 return rb_complex_new1(INT2FIX(0));
}
    to_f → 0.0 click to toggle source

    Always returns zero. 

    nil.to_f #=> 0.0

     static VALUE
nil_to_f(VALUE obj)
{
 return DBL2NUM(0.0);
}
    to_h → {} click to toggle source

    Always returns an empty hash. 

    nil.to_h #=> {}

     static VALUE
nil_to_h(VALUE obj)
{
 return rb_hash_new();
}
    to_i → 0 click to toggle source

    Always returns zero. 

    nil.to_i #=> 0

     static VALUE
nil_to_i(VALUE obj)
{
 return INT2FIX(0);
}
    to_r → (0/1) click to toggle source

    Returns zero as a rational. 

     static VALUE
nilclass_to_r(VALUE self)
{
 return rb_rational_new1(INT2FIX(0));
}
    to_s → "" click to toggle source

    Always returns the empty string. 

     static VALUE
nil_to_s(VALUE obj)
{
 return rb_usascii_str_new(0, 0);
}
    false | obj → true or false click to toggle source
    nil | obj → true or false

    Or-Returns false if obj is nil or false; true otherwise. 

     static VALUE
false_or(VALUE obj, VALUE obj2)
{
 return RTEST(obj2)?Qtrue:Qfalse;
}
