Format String - NewPi - Oct-09-2022
Hey,
I try to print some formatted integers with padded 0.
But there is always a blank character in front of the print.
My code is:
num = 14
print(f"{num: 010d}")And my output is: 000000014There are 9 digits and a blank character. Why is there a blank char and not only 10 digits?
THX

The space is there because you have a space in your format string. The space is what you should print as the sign for a positive number.
num = 14
print(f"{num:010d}") # No prefix for positive numbers
print(f"{-num:010d}")
print(f"{num:+010d}") # + prefix for positive numbers
print(f"{-num:+010d}")
print(f"{num: 010d}") # space prefix for positive numbers
print(f"{-num: 010d}")Output:0000000014

Oh, ok. Thanks for your answer.
I didn't know, that the space between ':' and '0' counts.
