Hi,
If I want to pad with `0`, then the below is fine :
"$%d.%02d" % [12344444444444, 1] # => "$12344444444444.01"
If, I want to remove trailing `0`, then simply :
"%g" % 1.0 # 1
But, I am looking for how can I add trailing `0`s . I want "$12344444444444.10" instead of `"$12344444444444.01"`.

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

I’m not sure if it’s the best way, but you could left justify the last digit and then do a gsub on spaces to put the 0’s in?

This is covered well in the documentation on sprintf (ri sprintf or man 2
printf).
"%.2f" % 13.5
=> "13.50"
"%d.%02d" % (13.5 * 100).divmod(100)
=> "13.50"
With your example, it should be:
"%d.%02d" % [12344444444444, 10]
-a

I never said I'm working on _float_ point numbers. I just said, you can do left _padd_ with `sprintf` or `String#%` I'm sure. But I am not sure, right padding is possible or not. Like :
Thu Mar 12 21:04:42 IST 2015
[arup@~]$ irb
[1] pry(main)> "%4s" % "a"
=> " a"
[2] pry(main)> "%4d" % "1"
=> " 1"
[3] pry(main)> "%40d" % "1"
=> " 1"
[4] pry(main)> "%04d" % "1"
=> "0001"
[5] pry(main)>
I also know right padding is possible using `String#ljust` like :
[5] pry(main)> "a".ljust(4, " ")
=> "a "
[6] pry(main)> "1".ljust(4, " ")
=> "1 "
[7] pry(main)> "1".ljust(4, '0')
=> "1000"
[8] pry(main)>
Just wanted to know is this really not possible using `String#%` or `#sprintf` ?

You cannot right-pad an integer with 0s using sprintf because that
changes the number. So you would no longer be formatting it, you'd be
outputting an entirely new number.

maybe I don't understand the question, but why not just multiply the 2nd
number by 10, and do a %02d on it?
