Can anyone explain this? PaddedForm[expr, n] prints with all numbers in expr padded to leave room for a total of n digits. In[98]:= (12:9:35 on 7/18/98) NumberForm[1,2,NumberPadding->"0"] Out[98]//NumberForm= (12:9:35 on 7/18/98) "001" In[99]:= (12:9:39 on 7/18/98) NumberForm[10,2,NumberPadding->"0"] Out[99]//NumberForm= (12:9:40 on 7/18/98) "010" In[100]:= (12:9:45 on 7/18/98) NumberForm[100,2,NumberPadding->"0"] Out[100]//NumberForm= (12:9:45 on 7/18/98) "0100" NumberForm gives the same behaviour. I would have thought that in all three cases, two digits would appear, instead of three, or four. My real need is simply to print integers with leading zeros for a fixed number of digits.
