Code #1 : Example for coerce() method
# Ruby code for coerce() method # loading BigDecimal require 'bigdecimal'
# declaring BigDecimal a = 42 . 1 ** 13
# declaring BigDecimal b = -BigDecimal( "10" )
# declaring BigDecimal c = -( 22 ** 7 . 1 ) * 10
puts "coerce example 1 : #{a.coerce(b)}\n\n"
puts "coerce example 2 : #{b.coerce(c)}\n\n"
|
Output :
coerce example 1 : [-10.0, 1.3051704902006439e+21] coerce example 2 : [#, #]
Code #2 : Example for coerce() method
# Ruby code for coerce() method # loading BigDecimal require 'bigdecimal'
# declaring BigDecimal a = 12 ** 12 - 27
# declaring BigDecimal b = BigDecimal( '10' )-( 22 ** 7 . 1 ) ** 10
# declaring BigDecimal c = BigDecimal( '-3' )
puts "coerce example 1 : #{a.coerce(b)}\n\n"
puts "coerce example 2 : #{b.coerce(c)}\n\n"

Output :
coerce example 1 : [-2.051211007305864e+95, 8916100448229.0] coerce example 2 : [#, #]
