coerce(other)

public

The coerce method provides support for Ruby type coercion. This coercion mechanism is used by Ruby to handle mixed-type numeric operations: it is intended to find a compatible common type between the two operands of the operator. See also Numeric#coerce.

    case other
    when Numeric
      return Scalar.new(other), self
    else
      raise TypeError, "#{self.class} can't be coerced into #{other.class}"
    end
  end
