Is rdoc (http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/) complete?

Hello Team,

Although I have over a dozen Ruby books (and still do not master the
language) I try to make frequent use of the online documentation, rdoc,
located at: http://www.ruby-doc....
However, I was searching the *rdoc* for a method I new existed by reading "*The
Ruby Way* - Second Edition By: Hal" but could not find it. The method was *
find_all* which is part of *Array* class. I then looked a bit further and
noticed that a sizable number of methods for the same class are not found at
rdoc.

Since carrying books is a bit difficult a time, is there a definitive site,
book, or whatever where I can find all the docs for a given release of Ruby?

Thank you

Victor

find_all is not a method of the Array class, but an instance method of the
Enumerable module, which is mixed-in in class Array. If you look at the online
documentation for Array, you'll see that there's a section called "Included
Modules", which contains Enumerable. Clicking on it, you'll be directed to the
documentation for the Enumerable module, knowing that all its instance methods
are also instance methods of Array.

This method belongs in the Enumerable module, which Array included. Do
"ri find_all"

It's not easy for new user's to know where to look for such
information. I think it should be trivial for rdoc to reveal inherites/
included methods from other modules when searching for them in other
classes or modules that include them. IMHO, "ri Array#find_all" should
give a meaningful result since find_all is well-defined for Array
instances.

Please forgive my ignorance and thank you for the information.

I have an array of integers with a minimum of 9 elements and a maximum of
81.
I need to count the frequency of each digit (1..9).
That's why I was looking into the use of *find_all* or some other util that
would make my code simple. Otherwise I would have to loop and count the old
fashion way.

Thank you

This is a typical way:

irb(main):001:0> a = [1,2,3,4,3,2,1,2,3,4,5,6,5,4,3,4,5,6,7,8,7,8,9]
=> [1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 5, 4, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 7, 8, 9]
irb(main):002:0> h = Hash.new {|h,k| h[k] = 0}
=> {}
irb(main):003:0> a.each {|x| h[x] += 1}
=> [1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 5, 4, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 7, 8, 9]
irb(main):004:0> h
=> {5=>3, 6=>2, 1=>2, 7=>2, 2=>3, 8=>2, 3=>4, 9=>1, 4=>4}

or:

irb(main):005:0> h2 = Hash.new(0)
=> {}
irb(main):006:0> a.each {|x| h2[x] += 1}
=> [1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 5, 4, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 7, 8, 9]
irb(main):007:0> h2
=> {5=>3, 6=>2, 1=>2, 7=>2, 2=>3, 8=>2, 3=>4, 9=>1, 4=>4}
