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'
