How to pad zeros to a decimal result

Question

I am trying to pad zeros to a decimal result.

Is there a one-line code to do this in the view?

<%= "%00.1f" %  (29/10.0) %>

expected: 02.9

the above returned: 2.9

Answer 1

For those who want to pad zeroes to floating or decimal values, just provide the number of characters to be printed.

"%04.1f" %  (29/10.0) 

4 means four characters will be printed including the decimal and the decimal point.
