[Resolved] Add a Leading Zero to an Integer?

I want to know how to format an integer so that it always displays as two digits, so if the number is 5, it adds a leading 0 as 05. This is to display time. I tried using DecimalFormat, but it doesn't seem to be doing what I want it to, and I get errors half the time.

Any suggestions?

Code:

---

        NumberFormat f=new DecimalFormat("00");
        System.out.println(f.format(5));

---

?

I think you need to use SimpleDecimalFormat, as DecimalFormat is abstract.

This is what I came up with as well. Thank you.
