The xconsists of the formatting type optionally preceded by other formatting options see next section.
Named arguments enable you to specify an argument for a particular parameter by associating the argument with the parameter s name rather than with the parameter s position in the parameter list optional arguments enable you to omit arguments for.

How to pad a ruby string.

The template contains references in the format of x unnamed or name x named.
It finds that this is a variable so it returns the value of the variable which is the string ada.
One way to pad a string is to use the rjust method with two arguments.
In other words when ruby finds name in this string then it will evaluate the piece of ruby code name.
Examples of this are the keyword arguments for float round kernel clone string lines introduced in ruby 2 4.
Typically methods with names ending in modify their receiver while those without a return.
For example we might consider adding a more powerful named search facility to our songlist.
Ruby 1 6 does not have keyword arguments although they are scheduled to be implemented in ruby 1 8.
