[plt-scheme] padding numbers
Hello,
The other day I wanted to convert an rgb triplet (say 0, 255, 0) into a
hex representation padded with zeros (#00ff00). I expected to be able
to do something like (format "~02x~02x~02x" r g b), analogous to printf
in C.
My attempts:
- srfi 48 format ~F only outputs in base 10, always pads with spaces
- srfi 54 cat automatically prepends "#o"
- srfi 13 string-pad:
#lang scheme
(require srfi/13)
(apply string-append (map (lambda (e)
(string-pad (format "~x" e) 2 #\0))
'(0 255 0)))
This was the best I could think of. Is there a simpler way?
Thanks,
Dave
