Color RGB int to hex
Ruby
I was going more for the "unorthodox" part. ;)
10;a= gets. split
. map {| x| #x
"%02X" %( x. to_i)
}; $> << ?# << a[
00 .. 1+2]. join;
The font (on my web browser) is a bit tall, so it looks distorted, but it looks better in Courier New:
Sample run:
c:\a\ruby>rgb2hex
255 100 0
#FF6400
Ruby: 19 characters
$_=?#+"%02X"*3%$F
Sample run:
bash-4.1$ ruby -pae '$_=?#+"%02X"*3%$F' <<< '72 61 139'
#483D8B
bash-4.1$ ruby -pae '$_=?#+"%02X"*3%$F' <<< '75 0 130'
#4B0082
bash-4.1$ ruby -pae '$_=?#+"%02X"*3%$F' <<< '0 255 127'
#00FF7F
q/k (3 chars)
Not exactly unorthodox but quite short
4h$
Example
q)4h$ 72 61 139
0x483d8b
To match the output format in the question exactly, we can do (for 9 chars):
"#",/$4h$
