Hello All,
I want to print some integers in a zero padded fashion, eg. :
print("Testing %04i" % 1)
Testing 0001
but the padding needs to be dynamic eg. sometimes %05i, %02i or some
other padding amount. But I can't insert a variable into the format
specification to achieve the desirable padding.
I would be much obliged if someone can give me some tips on how to
achieve a variably pad a number.
--> width = 3
--> print("Testing %0*i" % (width, 1))
Testing 001
--> width = 7
--> print("Testing %0*i" % (width, 1))
Testing 0000001
The '*' acts as a place holder for the width argument.
