Ruby Integer to_s function with example

The to_s function in Ruby returns a string containing the place-value representation of int with radix base (between 2 and 36). If no base is provided in the parameter then it assumes the base to be 10 and returns. 

Syntax: number.to_s(base)

Parameter: The function takes the number and a base to which is to be converted. If no base is provided in the parameter, then the default parameter is assumed to be 10. 

Return Value: The function returns a string containing the place-value representation of int with the given radix base.

Example #1:

Ruby

# Ruby program for to_s function

# Initializing the number
num1 = 10
num2 = 16
num3 = 298
num4 = 183

# Prints the string after
# conversion into base
puts num1.to_s
puts num2.to_s
puts num3.to_s(2)
puts num4.to_s(8)

Output:  

10
16

267

Example #2:

Ruby

# Ruby program for to_s function

# Initializing the number
num1 = 120
num2 = 189
num3 = 132
num4 = 8

# Prints the string after
# conversion into base
puts num1.to_s(5)
puts num2.to_s(20)
puts num3.to_s(2)
puts num4.to_s

Output:
