  Surely you're better off creating a leftPad(str, len, char) where you can define the left padding you want by a specific character and then apply it to the formatNumber() case? This was you can use it later on.

  This is my slightly inelegant implementation:

  function leftPad(num, len, charIn) {
      var numPad = num + '';
      
      while (numPad.length < len) {
          numPad = charIn + numPad;
      }
      
      return numPad;
  }

  Yeah, this ticket is simply for "formatNumber", the implementation may involve creating any number of helper functions which may also be given a public API.

  As you say, leftPad may be useful here, but you'd also need a similar function to operate on the right-hand side of the string, which would need to do rounding as well as padding.
