Let's make: Nintendo block to Megabyte/Gigabyte converter

To make a block converter, we need to know what the conversions are:

Then, we can start defining functions:

def bl_to_mb(bl) # block to mb
  return bl / 8
end

def bl_to_gb(bl) # block to gb
  return bl_to_mb(bl) / 1024 # nesting
end

def mb_to_bl(mb)
  return mb * 8
end

def gb_to_bl(gb)
  return gb * 8192
end

# we’ll include mb -> gb and viceversa for the sake of completion
def mb_to_gb(mb)
  return mb / 1024
end

def gb_to_mb(gb)
  return gb * 1024
end

We can wrap them up in a module, like so:

module Blockconverter
  # functions
end

And use it like so:

puts Blockconverter::gb_to_bl(4).to_s + " blocks" # => "32768 blocks"

We could wrap the returned integer in an interpolated string, like:

puts "#{Blockconverter::gb_to_bl(4)} blocks" # => "32768 blocks"

Of course there’s no advantage in taking either way, so feel free to choose the one that best suits you.
