class Numeric

# File activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/numeric/bytes.rb, line 10
def bytes
  self
end

Enables the use of byte calculations and declarations, like 45.bytes + 2.6.megabytes

# File activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/object/duplicable.rb, line 99
def duplicable?
  false
end

Numbers are not duplicable:

3.duplicable? # => false
3.dup         # => TypeError: can't dup Integer

# File activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/numeric/time.rb, line 51
def in_milliseconds
  self * 1000
end

Used with the standard time durations, like 1.hour.in_milliseconds – so we can feed them to JavaScript functions like getTime().

# File activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/numeric/time.rb, line 19
def seconds
  ActiveSupport::Duration.new(self, [[:seconds, self]])
end

Enables the use of time calculations and declarations, like 45.minutes + 2.hours + 4.years.

These methods use Time#advance for precise date calculations when using from_now, ago, etc. as well as adding or subtracting their results from a Time object. For example:

# equivalent to Time.current.advance(months: 1)
1.month.from_now

# equivalent to Time.current.advance(years: 2)
2.years.from_now

# equivalent to Time.current.advance(months: 4, years: 5)
(4.months + 5.years).from_now

# File activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/numeric/conversions.rb, line 100

Provides options for converting numbers into formatted strings. Options are provided for phone numbers, currency, percentage, precision, positional notation, file size and pretty printing.
