[sri pat]

Hi,

My program is below.I want the output p00000022.When i run program like this it's giving output p18. Can anybody help me.

int x=00000022;
String s = "p ";
System.out.println(s + x );

Thanks in advance,

A numeric literal that begins with a zero is interpreted as base 8.

Therefore, 00000022 is actually 18 (2 times 8 to the first power, plus 2 times 8 to the zero power).

Hi,
Is there any way i can print like this p00000022

You could use the java.text.DecimalFormat class.

int x = 22;
DecimalFormat f = new DecimalFormat("p00000000");
System.out.println(f.format(x));

prints "p00000022".

Yes, but can you tell us more about the problem you're trying to solve? What are the requirements for these int and String variables?
