I’m new to Ruby and I’ve been playing around with it abit.
the following line of code produces a out of range warning.
puts 3.14159 #outputting a simple float value
It will output the value in console, however it will warn me with the
following:
C:/Users/Admin/IdeaProjects/RubyExampl… warning: Float 3.14159 out of
range
To my knowledge, the value should be within bounds of a float object.
I’m using Ruby SDK v1.8.6 and IntelliJ with the Ruby plugin as my IDE
It will output the value in console, however it will warn me with the
following:
C:/Users/Admin/IdeaProjects/RubyExampl… warning: Float 3.14159 out of
range
Oh thanks, appreciate it. Would you please recommend a decent IDE in
that case?
Well, that opens a whole can of worms.
Me, I use NetBeans if I have to have access to IDE features.
Otherwise, I’m happy with vim (if you are on Windows, I can point you to
an article I wrote in getting vim 7.2 to work with Ruby from within
vim), or Notepad++, simple text editors.
All of these choices are Free as in beer, as well as in speech.
BTW, we refer to Ruby as “Ruby RUBY_VERSION”, not as “Ruby SDK”.
Oh thanks, appreciate it. Would you please recommend a decent IDE in
that case?
Try working without an IDE. Ruby doesn’t benefit from IDEs nearly as
much as Java does. I recommend a good editor such as jEdit or
KomodoEdit instead. NetBeans mostly has good Ruby support, if you
really need an IDE.
