C-Lion

SOFTWARE ENGINEER


C-Lion is a software developer and HCI designer, specializing in technical educational software and web applications. After designing an online math learning center for Mercy College and teaching online computer science courses for the Michigan Jewish Institute, managing the the technical team for the deployment of a MOOC course and adminstering the NovoEd site for the Open Doors Group's MOOC course has been a more recent project.

These software applications are influenced by years of expertise as an electronics and maintenance technician keeping the runways open at NYC's JFK and LaGuardia airports and maintaining a fleet of over 500 vehicles in a high state of readiness for the immediate deployment of a US Army mobile general hospital. In both cases, there was a constant need for creating new technical training, both in digital form and "on the job".

Code Snippets


Graphic Ad Insert

This ruby program will prompt the user for a temperature in degrees Celsius and let the user know what the corresponding temperature is in Fahrenheit.


def celsius_to_fahrenheit(celsius)
	return celsius * 1.8 + 32
end

puts "What is the temperature in Celsius? "
celsius = gets.chomp.to_f 

puts "You said the temperature is #{celsius} Celsius."
puts "That means the real temperature is #{celsius_to_fahrenheit(celsius)} Fahrenheit."


def position(n)
	if n == 0
		return "Take a new number please. An error has occured and you are not on the wait list yet. "
	elsif n > 10 && n < 20
		return "You are in #{n}th place on the wait list. "
	elsif n % 10 == 1
			return "You are in #{n}st place on the wait list. "
	elsif n % 10 == 2
			return "You are in #{n}nd place on the wait list. "
	elsif n % 10 == 3
			return "You are in #{n}rd place on the wait list. "		
	else
			return "You are in #{n}th place on the wait list. "
	end
end

	
puts "Enter your ticket number. "
ticket = gets.to_i
puts ticket

puts position(ticket)
		

Ordinal Challenge

This ruby program will convert a plain number to the ordinal of that number. So for example, if the user enters 2, it will display 2nd. If the user enters 3 it will display 3rd, etc.


Foo-Bar

This ruby program is an adaptation of the classic technical interview problem which displays sequences of the the Foo-Bar pattern.


def fooBar(n)
	n.times do |n|
		n = n + 1
		if n % 3 == 0 && n % 5 == 0
			puts "FooBar"
		elsif n % 3 == 0 
			puts "Foo"
		elsif n % 5 == 0
			puts "Bar"
		else 
			puts n
		end	
	end
end

	
puts "How many times to play? Please enter a number greater than zero. "
times = gets.to_i

puts fooBar(times)
