NSString stringWithFormat - trying to set a label to double digits for single digit numbers

I am trying to have a label display single-digit numbers as double-digit numbers (ie. 1 => 01) . I may be using the wrong method to set the value for the label but the thing is I'm not even sure about that after pouring over Apple's documentation and scouring the internet.

[secondsLabel setValue:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%2d", seconds]]

I saw someone else's use of stringWithFormat as stringWithFormat:@"%.2f" so I figured I would try something similar and change it to "%2d", no luck. Thanks for you help in 开发者_高级运维advance.

You were very close: try "%.2d" (note the ".").

The reference for the format string in the -stringWithFormat: method is the IEEE printf specification
