Counting digits in an integer value, including zero

[lithium002]

Hello,

I'm curious if this is possible at all.

Imagine if a user enters the number 00005 from his keyboard, and we were to count all the digits, including zeros, in this number, how would we go about doing it?

I see that any value entered from the keyboard that includes a zero in the beginning automatically cuts off.

How can I prevent this?

i think saving the number as a string, and then count the zeros.

you can pass the number from string to int with parseInt() method.
