Bug #4787: Integer#each_modulo(n)
Author: Kenta M.
Status: Open
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Yukihiro M.
Category: core
Target version: 1.9.3
ruby -v: ruby 1.9.3dev (2011-05-27 trunk 31745) [x86_64-darwin10.7.0]
I suggest a new feature of Integer to enumerate by iterated
Integer#modulo.
An example implementation in Ruby is the following code:
class Integer
def each_modulo(n)
raise ArgumentError, “argument must be an Integer” unless n.is_a?
Integer
raise ArgumentError, “argument must be larger than 1” if n <= 1
return Enumerator.new(self, :each_modulo, n) unless block_given?
q = self
while q > 0
q, r = q.divmod(n)
yield(r)
end
end
end
p 133.each_modulo(3).to_a #=> [1, 2, 2, 1, 1]
The following code is an example use of the feature:
class Integer
def each_thousand_separation
each_modulo(1000)
end
def thousand_separated_string(sep=',')
each_thousand_separation.map(&'%03d'.method(:%)).inject{|s, n| n +
sep + s }
end
end
p 100_000_000_200.thousand_separated_string #=> “100,000,000,200”
I make an implementation in C, and attach the patch for that.
