This is a trivial question, unsure if I should really be asking here, but would like to see if anyone has a more elegant way to write this in ruby.

I have a version string of format x.y.z or x.y or x. I would like a simple elegant way to convert this into an array where default 0 value is inserted if segment is missing. I have a few different ways to do this, but I was hoping for something a bit cleaner. Atm my current solution is this

version_string.split('.').each_with_index.with_object(['0','0','0']) { |(segment, i), version_array| version_array[i] = segment }

Seems to work fine, and I can always move to a simple method call to make code look cleanup, but something about the use of each_with_index and `with_object kinda bugs me. Just curious to see if rest of Ruby community have anything to add
