In such cases, Ruby's core
1.year.to_f.from_now
# equivalent to 365.25.days.to_f.from_now
1.month.to_i.from_now
# equivalent to 30.days.to_i.from_now
+months+, +years+, etc is converted before use:
above, care should be taken to note that this is not true if the result of
While these methods provide precise calculation when used as in the examples
(4.months + 5.years).from_now
# equivalent to Time.now.advance(months: 4, years: 5)
2.years.from_now
# equivalent to Time.now.advance(years: 2)
1.month.from_now
# equivalent to Time.now.advance(months: 1)
results from a Time object.
from_now, +ago+, etc. as well as adding or subtracting their
These methods use Time#advance for precise date calculations when using
2.hours + 4.years.
Enables the use of time calculations and declarations, like 45.minutes +

def multiple_of?(number)
6.multiple_of?(5) # => false

Check whether the integer is evenly divisible by the argument.

2.ordinal # => "nd"
1.ordinal # => "st"
in an ordered sequence such as 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th.
Ordinal returns the suffix used to denote the position
