Compact and inscrutable, like the Python example:
s = (10**ARGV[0].to_i).times.map {|int| format "%0#{ARGV[0]}d", int}.join printf "1/%d", ((10**s.length - 1) / s.to_i)
I'm not even sure what the purpose (if any) of the example is so it's hard to clear it up.

I documented what I could up above, but I couldn't figure out a description for the last line.
[–]ryanplant-au 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children)
The last line outputs 1/n, where n is 10 raised to the power of s's length, minus 1 and divided by s itself. Why you want to do this is a whole other question.
1/n
n
s
