This cop identifies uses of Range#include?, which iterates over each item in a Range to see if a specified item is there. In contrast, Range#cover? simply compares the target item with the beginning and end points of the Range. In a great majority of cases, this is what is wanted.

Here is an example of a case where Range#cover? may not provide the desired result:

('a'..'z').cover?('yellow') # => true

This cop checks for private or protected access modifiers which are applied to a singleton method. These access modifiers do not make singleton methods private/protected. private_class_method can be used for that.

Example:

# bad

class C
  private

  def self.method
    puts 'hi'
  end
end

Example:

# good

class C
  def self.method
    puts 'hi'
  end

  private_class_method :method
end

Example:

# good

class C
  class << self
    private

    def method
      puts 'hi'
    end
  end
end

This cop identifies the use of Regexp#match or String#match, which returns #<MatchData>/nil. The return value of =~ is an integral index/nil and is more performant.

Example:

# bad
do_something if str.match(/regex/)
while regex.match('str')
  do_something
end

# good
method(str =~ /regex/)
return value unless regex =~ 'str'
