convert number to string in python

Question

I meet a problem about converting number to string.

I want to get a string \"0100\" from str(0100), but what I got is \"64\". Does any way I can do to get a string \"010

Answer 1

The integer should be written as 100, not 0100.

You can format the string with leading zeros like this:

>>> "%04d" % 100
'0100'
