| 00:01 | Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Arithmetic & Relational Operators in Ruby. |
| 00:06 | In this tutorial we will learn about |
| 00:08 | Arithmetic Operators |
| 00:10 | Operator Precedence |
| 00:12 | Relational Operators |
| 00:14 | Here we are using Ubuntu Linux version 12.04 Ruby' 1.9.3 |
| 00:23 | To follow this tutorial you must know how to use Terminal and Text editor in Linux. |
| 00:28 | You must also be familiar with irb |
| 00:31 | If not, for relevant tutorials, please visit our website |
| 00:34 | Now let us learn about arithmetic operators. |
| 00:38 | Ruby has following arithmetic operators.
|
| 00:42 | +Addition: eg. a+b. |
| 00:45 | - Subtraction: eg. a-b. |
| 00:48 | / Division: eg. a/b. |
| 00:51 | * Multiplication: eg. a*b. |
| 00:55 | % Modulus: eg. a%b. |
| 00:59 | ** Exponent : eg a**b |
| 01:04 | Let us try these arithmetic operators using irb. |
| 01:08 | Open the terminal by pressing Ctrl, Alt and T keys simultaneously. |
| 01:14 | A terminal window appears on your screen. |
| 01:17 | Type irb and press Enter to launch the interactive Ruby. |
| 01:21 | Type 10 plus 20 and press Enter. |
| 01:25 | The addition operation is performed and the result 30 is displayed. |
| 01:31 | Similarly the subtraction and multiplication operations can be performed. |
| 01:35 | Let us try the division operator. |
| 01:38 | Type 10 slash 4 |
| 01:40 | and press Enter. |
| 01:42 | Here you can see the result is truncated to the nearest whole number which is 2. |
| 01:47 | To get a more accurate answer, we need to express one number as float |
| 01:52 | Type 10.0 slash 4 |
| 01:56 | and press Enter.
|
| 01:58 | Now we get the result as 2.5 |
| 02:01 | Let's now try the modulus operator. |
| 02:05 | The modulus operator returns the remainder as output.
|
| 02:09 | Type 12 percentage sign 5 and press Enter |
| 02:15 | Here 12 is divided by 5 and the remainder 2 is returned back. |
| 02:21 | Now let's try the exponent operator. |
| 02.24 | Type 2 followed by the asterisk symbol twice and then 5 and press Enter. |
| 02:32 | This means that 2 is raised to the power of 5. |
| 02:36 | So we get the output as 32. |
| 02:39 | Next, let us learn about operator precedence. |
| 02:44 | When several operations occur in a mathematical expression, |
| 02:47 | each part is evaluated |
| 02:50 | and resolved in a predetermined order called operator precedence. |
| 02:56 | This means that the operator which has highest priority is executed first. |
| 03:01 | This is then followed by the next operator in the priority order and so on.
|
| 03:07 | This slide lists all operators from highest precedence to lowest. |
| 03:13 | For example 3 + 4 * 5 returns 23 and not 35 |
| 03:23 | The multiplication operator (*) has higher precedence than the addition operator (+) |
| 03:29 | and thus will be evaluated first.
|
| 03:32 | Hence four fives are twenty and then three is added to 20 to give the output as 23 |
| 03:42 | Lets us see some more examples based on operator precedence. |
| 03:47 | Let's go back to the terminal. |
| 03:50 | Press Crtl and L keys simultaneously to clear the irb console. |
| 03:56 | Now type 7 minus 2 multiply by 3 |
| 04:03 | and press Enter |
| 04:05 | We get the answer as 1. |
| 04:08 | Here the asterisk symbol has higher priority than the minus sign.
|
| 04:13 | So the multiplication opertion is performed first and then subtraction is performed.
|
| 04:20 | Lets us see an another example. |
| 04:22 | Type Within brackets 10 plus 2 slash 4 |
| 04:29 | and Press Enter |
| 04:30 | We get the answer as 3. |
| 04:33 | In this case () bracket has the higher priority than division (slash) |
| 04:39 | So the operation inside the bracket that is addition is performed first. |
| 04:44 | Then division is performed. |
| 04:47 | Now, let us learn about Relational Operators. |
| 04:51 | Let's switch back to slides. |
| 04:54 | Relational operators are also known as comparison operators. |
| 04:59 | Expressions using relational operators return boolean values. |
| 05:04 | Relation Operators in Ruby are |
| 05:07 | == Equals to Eg. a==b |
| 05:14 | dot eql question mark Eg. a.eql?b |
| 05:21 | != Not equals to Eg. a exclamation equal b |
| 05:28 | Less than Eg. a < b |
| 05:32 | Greater than Eg. a > b |
| 05:37 | <= Lesser than or equal to Eg.a less than arrow equal b |
| 05:44 | >= Greater than or equal to Eg.a greater than arrow equal b |
| 05:49 | <=> Combined comparison Eg.a less than arrow equal greater than arrow b |
| 05:56 | Now let us try some of these operators. |
| 06:00 | Go to the terminal. |
| 06:02 | Press ctrl, L keys simultaneously to clear the irb console. |
| 06:09 | Lets us try equals to operator. |
| 06:11 | So type 10 equals equals 10
|
| 06:16 | and Press Enter |
| 06:17 | We get the output as true. |
| 06:20 | .eql? opeartor is same as equals to operator. |
| 06:24 | Lets try it out |
| 06:25 | Now type 10 .eql?10 and Press Enter |
| 06:33 | We get the output as true |
| 06:35 | Now lets try not equal to operator. |
| 06:39 | Type 10 not equal 10 |
| 06:44 | And Press Enter |
| 06:46 | We get the output as false. |
| 06:48 | This is because the two numbers are equal.
|
| 06:51 | Clear the irb console by pressing Ctrl, L simultaneously. |
| 06:56 | Let us now try less than operator. |
| 07:00 | Type 10 less than 5 and Press Enter
|
| 07:05 | Here if first operand is less than second then it will return true |
| 07:10 | otherwise it will return false
|
| 07:14 | We get the output as false because 10 is not less than 5 |
| 07:19 | We will now try greater than operator |
| 07:22 | Type 5 greater than 2 |
| 07:26 | Here if first operand is greater than second then it will return true |
| 07:31 | otherwise it will return false |
| 07:34 | Press Enter |
| 07:36 | In this case, we get the output as True because 5 is indeed greater than 2 |
| 07:42 | Clear the irb console by pressing Ctrl, L simultaneously |
| 07:47 | We will now try the less than equal to operator |
| 07:51 | Type 12 less than equal 12
|
| 07:56 | and Press Enter
|
| 07:59 | Here if first operand is less than or equal to second then it returns true |
| 08:04 | otherwise it returns false |
| 08:07 | We get the output as True because 12 is equal to 12 |
| 08:11 | You can try out the greater than or equal to operator likewise. |
| 08:15 | Now let's try the combined comparision operator. |
| 08:19 | The combined comparision operator |
| 08:21 | Returns 0 if first operand equals second
|
| 08:24 | Returns 1 if first operand is greater than the second and
|
| 08:29 | Returns -1 if first operand is less than the second operand
|
| 08:34 | Let's see how it works with an example |
| 08:36 | Type 3 less than equals greater than 3 |
| 08:41 | And Press Enter
|
| 08:43 | We get the output as 0 |
| 08:45 | because both the operands are equal i.e. both are three |
| 08:50 | Now, let's change one of the operands to 4 |
| 08:53 | Type 4 less than equals greater than 3
|
| 08:58 | And Press Enter |
| 08:59 | We get the output as 1 |
| 09:01 | Since 4 is greater than 3
|
| 09:04 | Now, let's change this example again |
| 09:07 | Type 4 less than equals greater than 7
|
| 09:11 | And Press Enter |
| 09:13 | We get the output as -1 |
| 09:14 | Since 4 is less than 7
|
| 09:17 | As an assignment |
| 09:19 | Solve the following examples using irb and check the output |
| 09:24 | 10 + bracket 2 astreisk 5 bracket 8 slash 2 |
| 09:32 | 4 astreisk 5 slash 2 plus 7 |
| 09:37 | Also, try arithmetic operators using methods |
| 09:42 | This brings us to the end of this Spoken Tutorial.
