How to format a Java string with leading zero?
public class LeadingZerosExample { public static void main(String[] args) { int number = 1500; // String format below will add leading zeros (the %0 syntax) // to the number above. // The length of the formatted string will be 7 characters. String formatted = String.format("%07d", number); System.out.println("Number with leading zeros: " + formatted); }}
In case you have to do it without the help of a library:
("00000000" + "Apple").substring("Apple".length())(Works, as long as your String isn't longer than 8 chars.)
