Code Snippets


Temperature Conversion

This Ruby program will prompt the user for a temperature in degrees Celsius and let the user know what the corresponding temperature is in Fahrenheit.


puts "Enter degrees in Celsius"
val1 = gets.chomp
val2 = val1.to_f
val3 = (val2 * 9/5) + 32



puts "#{val1} Celsius is #{val3} Fahrenheit"


puts "Enter a number"
i = gets.chomp.to_i



def ordinal(n)
  last_number = n % 10
  case 
    when last_number == 1 && n != 11 then return "st"
    when last_number == 2 && n != 12 then return "nd"
    when last_number == 3 && n != 13 then return "rd"
    else return "th"
  end
end

puts "That's the #{i}#{ordinal(i)} item!"

Ordinal Challenge

This Ruby program will convert a plain number to the ordinal of the number. So for example, if the user enters 2, it will display 2nd, if the user enters 3, it will display 3rd, etc.


Foobar

This Ruby program is an adaptation of a classic technical interview problem which displays sequences of the Foobar pattern.


puts "Enter a number:"
items = gets.chomp.to_i
 
list = []
(1..items).each do |n|
  if n % 3 == 0 && n % 5 == 0
    list << "FOOBAR"
  elsif n % 3 == 0
    list << "FOO"
  elsif n % 5 == 0
    list << "BAR"
  else
    list << n
  end
end
 
puts list
