java number formatting

Scruff

yes it may be trivial but my head is too melted at this stage on a Friday evening to work this out.

basically all i need it how to format an integer so that if its less than 10 it will have the 0 before the number

e.g 1 to 01, 5 to 05 etc

Thanks!

If you mean for printing it out on the screen I would use a conditional operator


System.out.println("Number: " + (i > 10 ? "" : "0") + i);

You'd want to use the NumberFormat class

import java.text.NumberFormat;
.
.
NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getInstance();
nf.setMinimumIntegerDigits(2);
.
.
System.out.println(nf.format(theNumber));
