Hey guys, sorry if this is a dumb question, but can I force a variable to maintain a certain number of digits? For instance, can I force 12 to become 0012?

I don't understand at all what that means, but yes, that works perfectly, thank you.

What that does is turn the number into a string, and puts two zeroes in front of it. Or it would take a three digit number and put one zero in front of it. You can't do math on a String unless you get the value of it.

Here's a handy reusable function.
