regular expressions

=~是用于正则表达式的匹配操作符。返回匹配到的字符串位置或nil。

1"abcdef" =~ /d/ # return 3
2"aaaaaa" =~ /d/ # return nil

!和?

The exclamation point (!, sometimes pronounced aloud as “bang!") indicates something potentially destructive, that is to say, something that can change the value of what it touches.

ruby> s1 = "forth"
  "forth"
ruby> s1.chop!       # This changes s1.
  "fort"
ruby> s2 = s1.chop   # This puts a changed copy in s2,
  "for"
ruby> s1             # ... without disturbing s1.
  "fort"

You’ll also sometimes see chomp and chomp! used. These are more selective: the end of a string gets bit off only if it happens to be a newline.

The other method naming convention is the question mark (?, sometimes pronounced aloud as “huh?") indicates a “predicate” method, one that can return either true or false.

四种内部中断循环的方式

  • break
  • next 等同与continue
  • redo restarts the current iteration
  • return

迭代器 iterator

Ruby’s String type has some useful iterators. each_byte is an iterator for each character in the string.

1irb(main):001:0> "abc".each_byte{|c| printf "<%c>", c}; print "\n"
2<a><b><c>
3=> nil

Another iterator of String is each_line.

1irb(main):002:0> "a\nb\nc\n".each_line{|l| print l}
2a
3b
4c
5=> "a\nb\nc\n"

ruby的 for in 也是一种迭代。We can use a control structure retry in conjunction with an iterated loop, and it will retry the loop from the beginning.

yield

yield occurs sometimes in a definition of an iterator. yield moves control to the block of code that is passed to the iterator (this will be explored in more detail in the chapter about procedure objects). The following example defines an iterator repeat, which repeats a block of code the number of times specified in an argument.

 1irb(main):003:0> def repeat(num)
 2irb(main):004:1>     while num > 0
 3irb(main):005:2>         yield
 4irb(main):006:2>         num -= 1
 5irb(main):007:2>     end
 6irb(main):008:1> end
 7=> :repeat
 8irb(main):009:0> repeat(3) { puts "foo" }
 9foo
10foo
11foo
12=> nil

class

继承

继承的格式为:

 1class Superclass
 2    def breathe
 3        puts "inhale and exhale"
 4    end
 5    def identify
 6        puts "I'm super"
 7    end
 8    def speak(word)
 9        puts word
10    end
11end
12
13class Subclass<Superclass
14    # code...
15end

可在在子类中重新声明基类方法,也可以使用super关键字来扩展基类方法。super也允许我们传递参数给基类方法。

 1class Subclass<Superclass
 2    def identify
 3        super
 4        puts "I'm sub too"
 5    end
 6    def speak(word)
 7        super("this is from Superclass")
 8        puts "now it's from Subclass: #{word}"
 9    end
10end

初始化(构造函数)

ruby使用initialize关键字来实现构造函数的功能。

1class Fruit
2    def initialize( k="apple")
3        @kind = k
4        @condition = "ripe"
5    end
6end
7
8apple = Fruit.new "apple"

variables

  • [a-z] or _ 本地变量
  • $ 全局变量
  • @ 实例变量 instance variable
  • [A-Z] 常量

全局变量

全局变量以 $ 开头。初始化之前,全局变量的值为nil。可定义一段procedure来追踪全局变量。

1$x #return nil
2trace_var :$x, proc{puts "$x is now #{$x}"}
3$x = 5 #return $x is now 5

一些特殊的变量(不一定是全局作用域):

  • $! latest error message
  • $@ location of error
  • $_ 上一次由gets读入的字符串
  • $. line number last read by interpreter
  • $& string last matched by regexp
  • $~ the last regexp match, as an array of subexpressions
  • $n the nth subexpression in the last match (same as $~[n])
  • $= case-insensitivity flag
  • $/ input record separator
  • $\ output record separator
  • $0 the name of the ruby script file
  • $* 命令行参数
  • $$ 当前解释器的进程id
  • $? 上一次子进程的退出状态码

实例变量

An instance variable has a name beginning with @, and its scope is confined to whatever object self refers to. Two different objects, even if they belong to the same class, are allowed to have different values for their instance variables. From outside the object, instance variables cannot be altered or even observed (i.e., ruby’s instance variables are never public) except by whatever methods are explicitly provided by the programmer. As with globals, instance variables have the nil value until they are initialized.

Instance variables do not need to be declared. This indicates a flexible object structure; in fact, each instance variable is dynamically appended to an object when it is first assigned.

常量

常量名以大写字母开头。给常量重新赋值会得到警告。

1irb(main):009:0> Wzr=1222
2=> 1222
3irb(main):010:0> Wzr=1223
4(irb):10: warning: already initialized constant Wzr
5(irb):9: warning: previous definition of Wzr was here
6=> 1223

常量可以在类和模块中定义,并允许外部访问。

1class ConstClass
2   C1=120
3end
4
5ConstClass::C1 # return 120

访问器(accessor)

实例属性需要通过属性访问器访问。常规访问器有简化写法:

1class Fruit
2   def kind=(k)
3       @kind = k
4   end
5   def kind
6       @kind
7   end
8 end

inspect方法

当创建一个对象时解释器会返回一些信息:

1irb(main):009:0> apple = Fruit.new
2=> #<Fruit:0x00000000a34f58>
3irb(main):010:0>

可以通过inspect关键字来改变这种默认行为。

1class Fruit
2    def inspect
3        "a fruit is created"
4    end
5end

inspect方法常用来调试,可通过下面两种方式显示调用:

1p anObject
2puts anObject.inspect

shortcuts

Ruby提供了访问器的一些简写形式:

缩写效果
attr_reader :vdef v; @v; end
attr_writer :vdef v=(value); @v=value; end
attr_accessor :vattr_reader :v; attr_writer :v
attr_accessor :v, :wattr_accessor :v; attr_accessor :w

注释

单行注释以#开头。 块注释可使用=begin =end来标记。

1=begin
2这是一段注释块。This is a comment block.
3Egg, I dreamed I was old.
4=end

Dynamic Dispatch

Mixins

Ruby has no multiple inheritance. But it has mixins.

Lookup rulres

When looking for receiver obj’s method m,

  • look in obj’s class
  • look in mixins the class includes(later includes shadow)
  • look in obj’s superclass
  • look in mixins the superclass inculdes
