Converting string to int without losing the zero in the beginning

Question

I tried int.parse, and convert class to convert a string to int.

While I\'m converting. I\'m losing the 0 in the beginning which i don\'t want.

Answer 1

Although this is a old thread, but this can also help:

// convert to big integer
var bigIntBits = BigInteger.Parse(intNumber);
int indexOfOne = intNumber.IndexOf('1');            
string backToString = new string('0', indexOfOne) + bigIntBits.ToString();
