hai monks,

i want to print only from 0 to 999.

if it is 0 it should print 000

if it is 12 it should print 012

if it is 2 it should print 002 

the numbers may be anything between 0 to 999.But front spaces should be padded with zero or zeros

perldoc -q pad points out the [doc://sprintf] function:

my $padded = sprintf "%03s", $number;
