I was trying to think an algorithm for naming an array. For example, it will have 1000 items. The names will be 0000, 0001, 0002 etc.

Which is better – the names to be strings or integers?

If int => how can I add the zeros in front?

If strings => wouldn’t it be too complicated to find the last digit – increment it, and if it’s 9 go to the previous digit. And it’s a lot of parsing.

Which do you think is better?

    Use integers, but when you display things, convert it to a string and add the leading zeros.
