I am playing around with lisp’s format function, but I have hit a snag because although I can get it to write the list of numbers aligned nicely, I can’t seem to get it to zero pad it:
(defun inc (a) (+ 1 a)) (dotimes (i 10) (format t '~3@:D ~:*~R~%' (inc i)))
This produces the following output:
+1: one +2: two +3: three +4: four +5: five +6: six +7: seven +8: eight +9: nine +10: ten
Does anybody know how to get it to be zero-padded?
