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 Celcius: "

      temp = gets.chomp
      f = (temp.to_i * 9/5) + 32 

      puts "The temperature is #{f} degrees F"
      


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

        def ordinal(number)
          if number == 11 || number == 12 ||  number == 13
            return "That's the #{number}th item"
          end
          if number % 10 == 1
            return "That's the #{number}st item"
          elsif number % 10 == 2
            return "That's the #{number}nd item"
          elsif number % 10 == 3
            return "That's the #{number}rd item"
          else 
            return "That's the #{number}th item"
          end
        end

        puts ordinal(number)
    

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 "How many items would you like to see?"
      input = gets.chomp.to_i

      def foobar(input)
        numbers = []

        (1..input).each do |n|
          if n % 3 == 0 and n % 5 ==0 
            numbers << "foobar"
          elsif n % 3 == 0
            numbers << "foo"
          elsif n % 5 == 0
            numbers << "bar"
          else
            numbers << n
          end
        end

        puts numbers

      end
      foobar(input)
