How to make a number in a string suffix
As you know, in ruby you can do
"%03d" % 5
#=> "005"
"%03d" % 55
#=> "055"
"%03d" % 555
#=> "555"
so basically the number will have the prefix "0" for 3 string places
just wondering if it's possible to make a suffix with a numeric string in a similar glorious way? (please not if statements)
something 5
#=> 500
something 55
#=> 550
something 555
# => 555
how about ljust method?
"5".ljust(3, "0")
and some methods to_sand to_iif you want to do this with integers
you can avoid converting strings with bits more than math, for example log_10, to find the number of digits in integer size, and then i *= 10**x, where x- how many more 0 do you need
like this:
def something(int, power=3)
int * 10**([power - Math.log10(int).to_i - 1, 0].max)
end
