pad
// usage
randBox.pad(number, width)
randBox.pad(number, width, padder)
Pad a number with some string until it reaches a desired width.
By default, randBox.pad()
will pad with zeroes. For example, to zero-pad
numbers such that the outcome width is 5, do the following.
randBox.pad(45, 5)
=> '00045'
randBox.pad(284, 5)
=> '00284'
randBox.pad(82843, 5)
=> '82843'
Notice how every item returned is a string with leading zeroes until the width is 5 for each one.
Can optionally specify a character if the desire is to pad with something other than zero.
randBox.pad(81, 5, 'Z')
=> 'ZZZ81'
randBox.pad(692, 5, 'Z')
=> 'ZZ692'
randBox.pad(52859, 5)
=> '52859'
