Feature #5552: Array#ljust, Array#rjust

• Status: Rejected
• Assignee: -

[sawa (Tsuyoshi Sawada)]

I propose the following methods Array#ljust(length [, pad]), Array#rjust(length [, pad]), whose behaviour is analogous to String#ljust(length [, padstr]), String#rjust(length [, padstr]).

[:a, :b, :c].ljust(2) #=> [:a, :b, :c]
[:a, :b, :c].ljust(5) #=> [:a, :b, :c, nil, nil]
[:a, :b, :c].ljust(5, :x) #=> [:a, :b, :c, :x, :x]

[sawa (Tsuyoshi Sawada)]

And also Array#center analogous to String#center as well.

なぜそれが必要なのか提案に含めてください。Stringにあるから、では不十分です。
私にはArray#ljustなどがあって嬉しい局面が想像できません。

[trans (Thomas Sawyer)]

If you know pad length is greater than the array length then:

[:a,:b,:c].insert(5, nil)

Not sure about "rjust" though. I suppose there is always:

a.unshift(nil) until a.size == 5

Though that seems fairly inefficient.
