String.methods.include?(:upcase) => false but '.upcase' is listed in ruby-doc.org -

-

i have been playing around strings bit (in irb), , found myself in trouble understanding meaning of following code:

string.methods => [:try_convert, :allocate, :new, :superclass, :freeze, :===, :==, :<=>, :<, :<=, :>, :>=, :to_s, :included_modules, :include?, :name, :ancestors, :instance_methods,  :public_instance_methods, :protected_instance_methods, :private_instance_methods,  :constants, :const_get, :const_set, :const_defined?, :const_missing, :class_variables,  :remove_class_variable, :class_variable_get, :class_variable_set,  :class_variable_defined?, :public_constant, :private_constant, :module_exec, :class_exec,  :module_eval, :class_eval, :method_defined?, :public_method_defined?,  :private_method_defined?, :protected_method_defined?, :public_class_method,  :private_class_method, :autoload, :autoload?, :instance_method, :public_instance_method,  :nil?, :=~, :!~, :eql?, :hash, :class, :singleton_class, :clone, :dup, :initialize_dup,  :initialize_clone, :taint, :tainted?, :untaint, :untrust, :untrusted?, :trust, :frozen?,  :inspect, :methods, :singleton_methods, :protected_methods, :private_methods,  :public_methods, :instance_variables, :instance_variable_get, :instance_variable_set,  :instance_variable_defined?, :instance_of?, :kind_of?, :is_a?, :tap, :send, :public_send,  :respond_to?, :respond_to_missing?, :extend, :display, :method, :public_method,  :define_singleton_method, :object_id, :to_enum, :enum_for, :equal?, :!, :!=,  :instance_eval, :instance_exec, :__send__, :__id__]

hence well-known method 'upcase' not included in output, tried receive way:

string.methods.include?(:upcase) => false                          # mother of god, shocked!

but http://ruby-doc.org/core-2.0/string.html#method-i-upcase lists .upcase method method of class string.

and of course, in irb-sessions or editor, ruby understands execute 

"whatdoiknow".upcase => "whatdoiknow"

my questions are:

  1. what kind of methods output string.methods
  2. why .upcase method not listed in output
  3. how can literally list methods string (eg. when searching something)

strings have upcase method. string not string, class, , classes don't have upcase method.

if want know whether particular string object has upcase method, should ask string:

'foo'.methods.include?(:upcase) # => true

or should ask string class whether has instance method include defined strings:

string.instance_methods.include?(:upcase) # => true

remember: classes objects other. have methods, have instance variables, have class.

i have google question , find answer in day. know, data design many many table have list column,and mark pk , fk. why er-diagram have find this? data design process of designing database. main output of data design detailed logical data model of database. some people data design includes of needed logical , physical design choices , physical storage parameters needed generate design in data definition language. technically, database analysis, database analysts (dbas) trained do. while person can both data design , database analysis, these 2 different tasks. data design models data. database analysis takes model , applies 1 or more database engines (relational, hierarchical, nosql). a logical data model 1 of main outputs of data design. data model represented entity relationship diagram, or er diagram.
