What about using a helper method: def my_special_float_format(val=0.0) val % 1 == 0 ? val.to_i : val end On Tue, May 6, 2008 at 6:03 AM, Jags Rao <rails-mailing-list-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > hello all > > i was lookin for a method which wud print the floating numbers > without fractional part if the fractional part is 0 > > 5.0 shud print 5 > 5.5 shud print 5.5 > > is there any helper method to do it > > jags > -- > Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. > > > >-- James Mitchell --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hi James Thanx for that further on this suppose the method name is sff(special float format) how will i able to do such statement anyfloatvalue.to_spp like we do anyfloatvalue.to_i i dont want to pass argument thanks again James Mitchell wrote:> What about using a helper method: > > def my_special_float_format(val=0.0) > val % 1 == 0 ? val.to_i : val > end > > > > On Tue, May 6, 2008 at 6:03 AM, Jags Rao > <rails-mailing-list-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> > wrote: > >> >> jags >> -- >> Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. >> >> > >> > > > -- > James Mitchell-- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I''d probably go with something a bit more specific to a float: def to_spp(num) raise ArgumentError unless num.respond_to?(:floor) num.floor==num ? num.to_i.to_s : num.to_s end Personally I would recommend putting this in application_helper.rb and using it like the ''number_to_currency'' helper because it appears to be something that you only want to do when rendering the value in a view. If you want to use it as an instance method on float (as you suggest) then it''s fairly straightforward. Ruby classes are always open for extension so you just open the class and add it. Often extensions to core classes are put in /lib/core_ext with a file name similar to the class your extending. In this case you might have the following in / lib/core_ext/float_ext.rb class Float def to_spp num.floor==num ? num.to_i.to_s : num.to_s end end Then in your environment.rb you''d require ''core_ext/float_ext'' (it''ll search and find the path under lib) and you could simply invoke it on your floats.
