For information about ROBOTC string, please see the article: Strings.

Some display functions offer a precision parameter, which pads the displayed number with either zeros or spaces, until the number of digits is equal to the precision value:

Precision value Description Example Output
-4 Pads the displayed number with zeros until the number of digits equals 4. 000#
00##
0###
####
0 No padding. ##
4 Pads the displayed number with spaces until the number of digits equals 4. _ _ _#
_ _##
