format seconds to minutes awnd seconds in ruby

To format a certain number of seconds as minutes and seconds in Ruby, you can use the Time or DateTime class to create the formatting, and then use string interpolation to combine the values into a single string.

Here's an example code block:

main.rb
# Define the number of seconds
total_seconds = 185

# Use the Time class to format the time
time = Time.at(total_seconds).utc.strftime("%M:%S")

# Output the formatted time
puts "Total time: #{time}"
200 chars
9 lines

In this example, we start by defining the "total_seconds" variable as 185. We then use the Time class to create a new time object that represents the number of seconds given. We use the "utc" method to set the time zone to UTC, and then use "strftime" to format the time according to the "%M:%S" pattern, which means "minutes:seconds". Finally, we use string interpolation to include the formatted time in the output message.

When you run this code block, you should see the output:

main.rb
Total time: 03:05
18 chars
2 lines

Which indicates that 185 seconds is equivalent to 3 minutes and 5 seconds.
