I am a ruby rookie with a question

I am running ruby 2.6.0p0 (2018-12-25 revision 66547) [x64-mingw32]
my laptop is windows 10

I was going through the PDF versionb of a ruby intro book and I have a
question about the "ri" command. The PDF file shows the following examples

ri Array
ri Array.sort
ri Hash#each
ri Math::sqrt

But in each case I receive an error message of the form "Nothing known
about xxx". Why is there no available info on these topics ?
