Here is an interesting question, in javascript what is the best way to convert a positive integer into a string of multiple zeros? For example 3 will be convertd to '000', 7 will be converted to '0000000'.

I guess I can use a plain old for loop but it just seems to be too cumbersome to me.

`new Array(int+1).join("0")` – Bergi Jun 18 '14 at 18:44

Not suggesting actually using this (hence not an answer), but this works. `(Math.pow(10,3)+"").substring(1)` Just the first thing I thought of, though I would never use it. – James Montagne Jun 18 '14 at 18:45
@Bergi Post as an answer? Seems like a great solution. edit: Ah, duplicate. – Mdev Jun 18 '14 at 18:46
@Bergi thanks for the notice, I didn't really realize that this can be generalized into a more common question. – Xavier_Ex Jun 18 '14 at 19:03
