Java – how do I format an integer as a string of four zeros?

I try to do something similar in Java (eclipse indigo):

input - 16 (integer);
Output - "0016" ;

input - 201 (integer);
Output - "0201" ;

intput - 1716 (integer);
Output - "1716" ;

In VB Net, I can use:

dim num as integer
dim str as string

str = Format(num,"0000")

How can I do the same thing in Java? Thank you in advance

Solution

I will also choose string#format () as the answer to MRE, but you can also do this:

new DecimalFormat("0000").format(number);
