time displaying

[maer...@gmail.com]

Hello 

For this question: 

https://numbas.mathcentre.ac.uk/question/167854/starters-1b/

I want to ask how much time there is between 2 times. 

I want e.g. the time 8 hours and 5 minutes to display as 08 : 05 , now it shows 8 : 5.

Is there an elegant way to make numbas show this zero when the number is smaller than 10?

Thanks

Johan

HI Johan

It's not a particularly elegant solution but I've dealt with something similar in this question https://numbas.mathcentre.ac.uk/question/share/view/e4b38048-4ea540fc-aecf-0e6f29ed91e9 (see the variable meetingTime). Hope this helps.

Hi Johan,

You can use the lpad function for this.

Here's an example: https://numbas.mathcentre.ac.uk/question/168097/format-a-time-with-lpad/
