Feature #4787
Updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada) over 8 years ago
I suggest a new feature of Integer to enumerate by iterated Integer#modulo. An example implementation in Ruby is the following code: ```ruby 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) yield(r) end 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: ```ruby class Integer def each_thousand_separation each_modulo(1000) each_modulo(1000) end def thousand_separated_string(sep=',') each_thousand_separation.map(&'%03d'.method(:%)).inject{|s, n| n + sep + s } end 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.
