Integer#coerce

(::Numeric) -> [ ::Numeric, ::Numeric ]

int.coerce(numeric) → array

static VALUE
rb_int_coerce(VALUE x, VALUE y)
{
    if (RB_INTEGER_TYPE_P(y)) {
        return rb_assoc_new(y, x);
    }
    else {
        x = rb_Float(x);
        y = rb_Float(y);
        return rb_assoc_new(y, x);
    }
}

Returns an array with both a numeric and a int represented as Integer objects or Float objects.

This is achieved by converting numeric to an Integer or a Float.

A TypeError is raised if the numeric is not an Integer or a Float type.

Example

(0x3FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF+1).coerce(42)   #=> [42, 4611686018427387904]
