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.)
