[Learning record] I got the current time in Ruby and output a different greeting for each time.

Introduction

It's been about a month since I started learning Ruby with Progate. I was starting to get too much input, so For the first time, I decided on a theme and made a petite product. I will post it as an article posting practice! It took about 3 hours. ..

As a simple flow, __Get current time __ → __ Group the time you want to change the output __ → Output greeting with __if statement __ It's like that.

time = Time.now

First get the current time.

require "time"
# morning = m
    m1 = Time.parse("6:00:00")
    m2 = Time.parse("10:59:59")
# afternoon = a
    a1 = Time.parse("11:00:00")
    a2 = Time.parse("16:59:59")
# evening = e
    e1 = Time.parse("17:00:00")
    e2 = Time.parse("1:59:59")

#During times other than the above(2:00:00 ~ 5:59:59)　zzz...Output with

Since I want to compare the current time with the specified time in the if statement, specify the time in the morning, noon, and night respectively. At this time, by setting ** Time.parse ("hour: minute: second") **, it is converted from a simple character string to a Time object. See references below for more information.

if m1 <= time && time <= m2
    puts "Good morning"
elsif a1= time && time <= a2
    puts "Hello"
elsif time <= e2 || e1 <= time 
    puts "Good evening"
else
    puts "Zzz..."

The greeting text is output by comparing the specified time grouped with the current time. It's a little confusing,

Morning (6:00:00)-(10:59:59) time zone → Good morning Noon (11:00:00) time zone of ~ (16:59:59) → Hello Time zone from night (17:00:00) to (1:59:59) → Good evening Other time zones (2: 00: 00-5: 59: 59) → zzz ...

Is output.

Impressions (mainly where I stumbled)

Get only the current "time"
Convert specified time from character string
Creating an if statement (only the last elsif will be "or" due to the time axis)
