Re: Newbie: How to format a number to always show two decimals?

Alternatively there's this code from Phrogz's library (
http://phrogz.net/rubylibs) which to me is more rubyish than sprintf.
Everytime you use sprintf, God kills a kitten.

-Harold

#Code Follows:

class Numeric
# Rounds to the specified number of decimal places, returning a string
value.
#
# (1.234).round_to(2) => '1.23'
# (-1.234).round_to(2) => '-1.23'
# (-0.007).round_to(2) => '-0.01'
# (-0.007).round_to(1) => '0.0'
def round_to(decimals)
if self<0 then
s='-';
x=-self;
else
s='';
x=self;
end
if x>=1.0e15 then
m=x.to_s;
else
m=(x*10**decimals).round.to_s
if (decimals!=0) then
k=m.length;

The 3.3.2 there makes reference to the version of KDE that smoke came from
(in the kdebindings module, obviously), not to the version of Qt it was
compiled against.

FWIW, this that Hans report is reproducable for me with libsmokeqt and
qtruby as shipped in KDE 3.4.2, compiled against Qt 3.3.5. (Tested using
the Debian packages in the unstable branch, which I uploaded.) I can't
really thing of un-standard procedures when preparing these packages.

Cheers,

Hmm, it's certainly not Ruby length...

[OT] Why the Lucky Stiff on Noboto

I wanted to mention to the Ruby list that Why the Lucky Stiff, author  
of the Poignant Guide and a very excellent storyteller, appears on  
the latest episode of Noboto. Noboto is a podcast but it's really  
quite friendly.

http://noboto.com/

I hope that you will enjoy it.

that quote is absolutely beautiful - though i __much__ prefer printf to cout

I've never had an error where the second puts in this code is never
executed, as described in the bug report:

require 'Qt'

class ConfigDatabase < Qt::Dialog
  def initialize(*k)
    puts("init in CD")
    super(*k)
    puts("after Qt::Dialog's init")
  end
end

$app = Qt::Application.new(ARGV)
cd = ConfigDatabase.new

In the QtRuby constructor code, it throws an exception after getting part of
the way through constructing the instance, and tries again. This means that
the first puts will actually get executed twice. Normally this doesn't
matter as there isn't any code before the super call in the initialize()
method.

I guess it has been fixed:

Tue May 17 11:52:18 2005  NAKAMURA Usaku  <usa <at> ruby-lang.org>

	* win32/win32.c (unixtime_to_filetime): use localtime() instead of
