Skills & Tools


Temperature Conversion

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


	print "Enter degrees in Celsius:"
		degrees = gets.chomp.to_f
	def celsius_to_fahrenheit(degrees)
    		return degrees * (9 / 5) + 32
	end
	puts "The temperature is #{celsius_to_fahrenheit(degrees)} degrees in Fahrenheit."


	puts "Enter a number."
		number = gets.chomp.to_i
		suffix = number % 10
	def ordinal(suffix)
    	if suffix == 1
        	return "st" 
    	elsif suffix == 2
        	return "nd"
    	elsif suffix == 3
        	return "rd"  
    	else
        	return "th"
    	end
	end   
	puts "That's the #{number}#{ordinal(suffix)} 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.

print "How many items do you want to see?"
	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
