How can I format a single digit number to 2 digits without a few if statements?
Any built-in thing in lua for this type of formatting?
in C# its:
string.Format("{0:00}", yourInt);
yourInt.ToString(“00”);
(I’m making a countdown clock)

string.format("%0.2i", 2) -- 02
the %0.2i format takes an integer and pads it to a length of 2. %0.3i would pad it to 3.
Similarly, you can do
string.format("%0.3f", 2) -- 2.000
to specify an amount of decimals to follow a given number.
