I have a requirement to pad all single digits numbers with a starting zero. Can some one please suggest the best method? (ex 1 -> 01, 2 -> 02, etc)
To pad an integer with leading zeros to a specific length To display the integer as a decimal value, call its ToString(String) method, and pass the string "Dn" as the value of the format parameter, where n represents the minimum length of the string.
Use the padStart() method to add leading zeros to a string. The method allows us to pad the current string with zeros to a specified target length and returns the result.
For padding a string with leading zeros, we use the zfill() method, which adds 0's at the starting point of the string to extend the size of the string to the preferred size. In short, we use the left padding method, which takes the string size as an argument and displays the string with the padded output.
Zero padding is a technique typically employed to make the size of the input sequence equal to a power of two. In zero padding, you add zeros to the end of the input sequence so that the total number of samples is equal to the next higher power of two.
number.ToString().PadLeft(2, '0')
I'd call .ToString on the numbers, providing a format string which requires two digits, as below:
int number = 1; string paddedNumber = number.ToString("00");
If it's part of a larger string, you can use the format string within a placeholder:
string result = string.Format("{0:00} minutes remaining", number);
