Python Development Techdegree Graduate 19,491 Pointslet zipCode: Int = 07083 result: 7083 Can someone explain to me why index 0 is not appearing to result
Can someone explain to me why index 0 is not appearing when you call the constant variable? I tried adding another number 1, in this case 1 is the index 0 and it shows up when you call the variable.

with a value of 07083
, which is not a valid Integer (whole number) value; You cannot have a leading zero in an integer. The compiler will remove it. If you are trying to create an array of the numbers that comprise a zip code, you could do it like so
let zipCode: [Int] = [0, 7, 0, 8, 3]
Second, if you are creating an array of zip codes and they require a leading zero, you can use a String type.
let zipCodes: [String] = ["07083", "07082", "07081"]
Hope this helps.

Python Development Techdegree Graduate 19,491 Points//Int I want this output: 07083
//array Not this output: [0 7 0 8 3] //brackets look ugly
So I just did this:
let zipCode:Int = 7083
"\(0)\(zipCode)"
