Padding with Zeros

public class ZeroPad
{
  public static void main ( String[] args )
  {
    double x = 12.34, y = -6.95, z = 1024;
    System.out.printf("x:%8.3f, y:%8.3f, z:%8.3f%n", x, y, z);       // right just; blank padding
    System.out.printf("x:%08.3f, y:%08.3f, z:%08.3f%n%n", x, y, z);  // right just; zero padding
     
    int a = 12, b = 12345, c = -1234567;
    System.out.printf("a:%10d; b:%10d; c:%10d%n", a, b, c);     // right just; blank padding
    System.out.printf("a:%010d; b:%010d; c:%010d%n", a, b, c);  // right just; zero padding
  }
}

To pad on the left with zeros instead of spaces, insert a "0" in front of the field width. (This only works with numeric types.) Sometimes you see this done with financial documents. The above program prints:

x:  12.340, y:  -6.950, z:1024.000
x:0012.340, y:-006.950, z:1024.000

a:        12; b:     12345; c:  -1234567
a:0000000012; b:0000012345; c:-001234567
