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.

def celsiusToFarh(celsius)
    farhenheit = (celsius * 1.8) + 32
    return farhenheit
end

puts "Enter degrees in Celsius: "
degreesC = (gets.chomp).to_i

puts "The temperature in Farhenheit is #{celsiusToFarh(degreesC)} degrees"

puts "Enter a number"
num = gets.chomp.to_f

right_digit = num % 10

if right_digit / 1 == 1 && (num % 100 >= 20 || num % 100 <= 10)
    puts "#{num.to_i}st"
elsif right_digit / 2 == 1 && (num % 100 >= 20 || num % 100 <= 10)
    puts "#{num.to_i}nd"
elsif right_digit / 3 == 1 && (num % 100 >= 20 || num % 100 <= 10)
    puts "#{num.to_i}rd"
else
    puts "#{num.to_i}th"
end 

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 do you want to see?"
num = gets.chomp.to_i

count = 1
foobar = []

while count <= num
    if (count % 5 == 0) && (count % 3 == 0)
        foobar.push("Foobar")
    elsif (count % 5 == 0) && (count % 3 != 0)
        foobar.push("bar")
    elsif (count % 5 != 0) && (count % 3 == 0)
        foobar.push("Foo")
    else
        foobar.push(count)
    end
    count = count + 1
end

puts foobar
