Integer trims starting zeros

Simply,

class Program
{
    static void Main( string [ ] args )
    {
        int i = 010;

        Console.WriteLine( i );

        Console.ReadKey( );
    }
}

Output:

10

How to stop trimming leading zeros ?
Decimals have same output, strings aren't best solution too.

Console.WriteLine("{0:D8}", i);

Will print "i" containing at least 8 digits. Any missing digits will become leading zeroes.

Number types only keep track of the binary representation of the number, not the string representation you use to initialize them.

You can format it when you output it if you want a constant number of digits:

Console.WriteLine(i.ToString("D8"));

You need to store it in a string. Then you can cast it back to integer when you need calculations, then cast it back to string when you're done using the desired format.
