How to Add leading Zeros to a Number in Python

To add leading zeros to a number in Python, you can use the str.zfill() method or the f-string syntax.

Here’s how to use str.zfill():

number = 7
print(str(number).zfill(2))

This will output 07, which is the number with a leading zero.

Alternatively, you can use f-strings to format the number with leading zeros:

number = 7
print(f"{number:02}")

This will also output 07.

Note that both methods return a string, not an integer. If you need to use the integer value later, you can convert the string back to an integer using the int() function.
