Make a two-digit string from a single-digit integer
I believe that the stringWithFormat specifiers are the standard IEEE printf specifiers. Have you tried
[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%02d", 1];
Use the format string %02d
. This specifies to format an integer with a minimum field-width of 2 characters and to pad the formatted values with 0 to meet that width. See man fprintf
for all the gory details of format specifiers.
If you are formatting numbers for presentation to the user, though, you should really be using NSNumberFormatter
. Different locales have wildly different expectations about how numbers should be formatted.
