# pad ```js // usage chance.pad(number, width) chance.pad(number, width, padder) ``` Pad a number with some string until it reaches a desired width. By default, `chance.pad()` will pad with zeroes. For example, to zero-pad numbers such that the outcome width is 5, do the following. ```js chance.pad(45, 5) => '00045' chance.pad(284, 5) => '00284' chance.pad(82843, 5) => '82843' ``` Notice how every item returned is a string with leading zeroes until the width is 5 for each one. Can optionally specify a character if the desire is to pad with something other than zero. ```js chance.pad(81, 5, 'Z') => 'ZZZ81' chance.pad(692, 5, 'Z') => 'ZZ692' chance.pad(52859, 5) => '52859' ```
