sprintf

  • Returning a formatting string is done nearly identical in Ruby as PHP using the sprintf method.

    PHP

    $s = sprintf("The %s is %d feet tall", "man", 6);
print $s;
// => The man is 6 feet tall

    Ruby

    s = sprintf("The %s is %d feet tall", "man", 6)
puts s
# => The man is 6 feet tall
