Python's str.zfill(~) method returns a copy of the source string left filled with zeros (0) up to the provided length.
Parameters
1. width | number
The length of the returned string including the left filled zeros.
Return value
A copy of the source string with '0' filled to the left.
Examples
Basic usage
To return a copy of 'Hello' left filled with zeros up to 7 characters:
x = 'Hello'x.zfill(7)
'00Hello'
Width parameter
To return a copy of 'Hello' left filled with zeros up to 3 characters:
x = 'Hello'x.zfill(3)
'Hello'
As the provided width of 3 was shorter than the length of the source string, we return the source string 'Hello'.
