Can /g/ do this?

*********
* Hello *
* World *
* in *
* a *
* frame *
*********

Asterisks need to be inline

>>61523598
You can't be serious this is shit easy goy

Iterate over all elements to find the max length. Then pad all the shorter strings with the required number of spaces to match that length. Pretty simple

>>61523598
>Find the widest string.
>Format the rest of the prints to be the same width as widest string

Wow that was hard

Ask /sci/, they are the homework board.

>>61523598

max_len = len(max(mah_list, key=len)) + 2
for i in mah_list:
    if i == mah_list[0]:
        print(max_len * '*')
    print('*' + i + (' ' * (max_len - (len(i) - 1))) + '*')

Not sure if it works.

I have already done it guys. I just want to see what it would look like in other languages.

>>61523619
>>61523598
use code tags retard

>>61523740
>>61523748
this

>>61523841

print("Dont be so angry anon")

Kek
Remove that print '*' from loop and add one before and after.

He doesn't write code on his phone. Ahaha oh wow.

I might be stupid, but not that stupid...

Or better yet, I don't hate myself that much.

#!/bin/bash
frame_start() {
    declare -i i
    for (( i=0; i<$1; i++ )); do
        echo -n '*'
    done
    echo
}

# find max len
declare -i max_len
for word in "$@"; do
    if (( ${#word} > max_len )); then
        max_len=${#word}
    fi
done

frame_start "$(( max_len + 4 ))"
printf '* %'"$max_len"'s *\n' "$@"
frame_start "$(( max_len + 4 ))"

it's not left justified but whatever, sue me. it would just mean another for loop and some printf indecipherable formatting cancer like %s%-*i "string" some_num.

>>61523968
That is really poorly programmed.

count=0    
for str in ["Hello", "World", "in", "a", "frame"]:
    if len(str)>0 :
        count=count+1
        k=9-len(str)
       # print(k)        
        if count==1:
            print("***********")
        print("*"+str+(" "*k)+"*"  )    
print("***********")

It just werks :^)

public class StringRectangle {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int max = 0;
        for(int i = 0;i<args.length;i++)
            max = args[i].length() > max ? args[i].length():max;
        for(int i = 0;i<max+4;i++)
            System.out.print('*');
        for(int i = 0;i<args.length;i++)
            System.out.printf("\n* %-"+max+"s *",args[i]);
        System.out.println();
        for(int i = 0;i<max+4;i++)
            System.out.print('*');
        System.out.println();
    }
}

Yeah i know, its it's pretty fucking bad. It works though, and that counts for something. I guess.

>>61524090

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Bin2Dec {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.print("Enter a binary number for it's decimal equivalent: ");
        String number = input.nextLine();
        System.out.println(bin2Dec(number));
    }

    public static int bin2Dec(String number) {
        int result = 0;
        for(int i = 0;i<number.length();i++)
        result = (result<<1) + number.charAt(i)-'0';
        return result;
    }
}

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

def encase(words)
  max_length = words.max_by {|w| w.length }.length
  puts '*'*(max_length + 4)
  words.each {|w| puts "* #{w.ljust(max_length)} *" }
  puts '*'*(max_length + 4)
end

encase(ARGV)

$ ./encase.rb hello world in a frame
*********
* hello *
* world *
* in    *
* a     *
* frame *
*********

Bumping for other languages

printf "* %-${max_len}s *\n" "$@"

>>61526432
for >>61524029

#!/usr/bin/python3
import sys
s=sys.argv[1:]
ml=max([len(x) for x in s])
f="*"*(ml+2)
print(f+"\n"+"\n".join(["*"+x+" "*(ml-len(x))+"*" for x in s])+"\n"+f)

Not sure if it can be even more shortened.
