Exercise: Create a method to pad an array Implement Array#pad and Array#pad!. Each method accepts a minimum size (non-negative integer) and an optional pad value as arguments. If the array's length is less than the minimum size, Array#pad should return a new array padded with the pad value up to the minimum size. For example, ruby [1,2,3].pad(5)…
class Array
def pad!(min_size, value = nil)
length = self.length
size = min_size - length
if min_size <= length
return self
end
