From: "yhara (Yutaka HARA)" <redmine@...> Date: 2012-10-25T20:16:54+09:00 Subject: [ruby-dev:46268] [ruby-trunk - Feature #4787] Integer#each_modulo(n) Issue #4787 has been updated by yhara (Yutaka HARA). Target version changed from 2.0.0 to next minor ---------------------------------------- Feature #4787: Integer#each_modulo(n) https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/4787#change-31543 Author: mrkn (Kenta Murata) Status: Assigned Priority: Normal Assignee: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto) Category: core Target version: next minor 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. -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
