dec

dec(n, [pad])

Convert an integer to a decimal string, optionally specifying a number of digits to pad to.

Examples

julia> dec(123)
"123"

julia> dec(123, 5)
"00123"

julia> dec(42, 8)
"00000042"

1. Convert an integer to a decimal string without padding:

   julia> dec(123)
   "123"

   This example converts the integer 123 to a decimal string.

2. Convert an integer to a decimal string with padding:

   julia> dec(123, 5)
   "00123"

   It pads the decimal string representation of 123 with zeroes to a length of 5 digits.

3. Convert an integer to a decimal string with greater padding:

   julia> dec(42, 8)
   "00000042"

   This example pads the decimal string representation of 42 with zeroes to a length of 8 digits.

Common mistake example:

julia> dec("42")
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching dec(::String)

In this example, the dec function is mistakenly called with a string argument instead of an integer. Make sure to pass an integer value to dec for correct usage.
