Question

I know there is the Date#step method, however it wants days for steps. I need a range or array for every minute in a given day (1440 entries).

What’s the best, and most effeicient way to do this in Ruby 1.9.3?

Ultimately, I’m going to format the output to be used like this:

00:00:00
00:01:00
00:02:00
...
23:59:00

Answer 1

This might get you started:

0.upto((60 * 24) - 1).each { |m| puts "%02d:%02d:00" % [m / 60, m % 60] }
