Zero-dependency fact approximate distance on Earth calculation

Generates 241 infinite sequences of plane, space, and multidimensional figurate numbers based on the book ‘Figurate Numbers’ (2012) by Elena Deza and Michel Deza. The methods are implemented using the Enumerator class and are designed for use in your math projects or in Sonic Pi.

YARD-Value YARD-Value provides YARD¹ handlers for Value² objects. It’ll document whether the Value is Comparable and what attributes are used in such comparisons, its #initialize method, and its protected accessors. ¹ See http://yardoc.org/ ² See http://disu.se/software/value-1.0/ You add the documentation to the Module#Value invocation. Any ‹@param› tags are used both for the parameters to the #initialize method and for the protected accessors. This class Point # A point on a plane. # @param [Integer] x # @param [Integer] y Value :x, :y end generates documentation similar to class Point # A point on a plane. # @param [Integer] x # @param [Integer] y def initialize(x, y) end and this class Point # A point on a plane. # @param [Integer] x The x coordinate of the receiver # @param [Integer] y The y coordinate of the receiver Value :x, :y end generates documentation similar to class Point # A point on a plane. # @param [Integer] x # @param [Integer] y def initialize(x, y) protected # @return [Integer] The x coordinate of the receiver attr_reader :x # @return [Integer] The y coordinate of the receiver attr_reader :y end For comparable Values, a note is added about what attributes are used in the comparison. This class Point # A point on a plane. # @param [Integer] x # @param [Integer] y Value :x, :y, :comparable => true end is similar to class Point # A point on a plane. # @param [Integer] x # @param [Integer] y # @note Comparisons between instances are made between x and y. def initialize(x, y) end § Usage Add ‹--plugin yard-value-1.0› to your YARD command line.

Value Value is a library for defining immutable value objects in Ruby. A value object is an object whose equality to other objects is determined by its value, not its identity, think dates and amounts of money. A value object should also be immutable, as you don’t want the date “2013-04-22” itself to change but the current date to change from “2013-04-22” to “2013-04-23”. That is, you don’t want entries in a calendar for 2013-04-22 to move to 2013-04-23 simply because the current date changes from 2013-04-22 to 2013-04-23. A value object consists of one or more attributes stored in instance variables. Value sets up an #initialize method for you that let’s you set these attributes, as, value objects being immutable, this’ll be your only chance to do so. Value also adds equality checks ‹#==› and ‹#eql?› (which are themselves equivalent), a ‹#hash› method, a nice ‹#inspect› method, and a protected attribute reader for each attribute. You may of course add any additional methods that your value object will benefit from. That’s basically all there’s too it. Let’s now look at using the Value library. § Usage You create value object class by invoking ‹#Value› inside the class (module) you wish to make into a value object class. Let’s create a class that represent points on a plane: class Point Value :x, :y end A ‹Point› is thus a value object consisting of two sub-values ‹x› and ‹y› (the coordinates). Just from invoking ‹#Value›, a ‹Point› object will have a constructor that takes two arguments to set instance variables ‹@x› and ‹@y›, equality checks ‹#==› and ‹#eql?› (which are the same), a ‹#hash› method, a nice ‹#inspect› method, and two protected attribute readers ‹#x› and ‹#y›. We can thus already creat ‹Point›s: origo = Point.new(0, 0) The default of making the attribute readers protected is often good practice, but for a ‹Point› it probably makes sense to be able to access its coordinates: class Point public(*attributes) end This’ll make all attributes of ‹Point› public. You can of course choose to only make certain attributes public: class Point public :x end Note that this public is standard Ruby functionality. Adding a method to ‹Point› is of course also possible and very much Rubyish: class Point def distance(other) Math.sqrt((other.x - x)**2 + (other.y - y)**2) end end For some value object classes you might want to support optional attributes. This is done by providing a default value for the attribute, like so: class Money Value :amount, [:currency, :USD] end Here, the ‹currency› attribute will default to ‹:USD›. You can create ‹Money› via dollars = Money.new(2) but also kronor = Money.new(2, :SEK) All required attributes must come before any optional attributes. Splat attributes are also supported: class List Value :'*elements' end empty = List.new suits = List.new(:spades, :hearts, :diamonds, :clubs) Splat attributes are optional. Finally, block attributes are also available: class Block Value :'&block' end block = Block.new{ |e| e * 2 } Block attributes are optional. Comparison beyond ‹#==› is possible by specifingy the ‹:comparable› option to ‹#Value›, listing one or more attributes that should be included in the comparison: class Vector Value :a, :b, :comparable => :a end Note that equality (‹#==› and ‹#eql?›) is always defined based on all attributes, regardless of arguments to ‹:comparable›. Here we say that comparisons between ‹Vector›s should be made between the values of the ‹a› attribute only. We can also make comparisons between all attributes of a value object: class Vector Value :a, :b, :comparable => true end To sum things up, let’s use all possible arguments to ‹#Value› at once: class Method Value :file, :line, [:name, 'unnamed'], :'*args', :'&block', :comparable => [:file, :line] end A ‹Method› consists of file and line information, a possible name, some arguments, possibly a block, and is comparable on the file and line on which they appear.
