Generating sequence number in java

Question

I want to generate a sequence number starting from 00000001,00000002....(i need all these zero as well)Please help me..Thanks in advance..

Answer 1

You can just generate the sequence numbers as integers and then format them like this:

String.format("%08d", yournumber);

See this question: How can I pad an integers with zeros on the left?

Answer 2

You just need to use string formatting to pad numbers with zeros:

for (int i = 1; i < 1000; i++) {
    String sequence = String.format("%08d", i);
}

Answer 3

You can just maintain that variable as an integer and use String.format to format it.

String s = String.format ("%08d", 42); // gives you "00000042"
