Instruction

Great! Now, let's try to extend the {:d} placeholder. Take a look:

user_id = 287360
print('Your ID is {:08d}.'.format(user_id))

The {:d} placeholder means "print the integer value as it is." The extended {:08d} placeholder means "reserve at least eight characters for the integer value and fill any empty characters with zeroes."

Exercise

Suppose we have picture files named 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg, ..., 30.jpg.

We would like those file names to have up to three leading zeroes so that they are sorted correctly even when more files are added: 0001.jpg, 0002.jpg, 0003.jpg, etc.

Your task is to generate and print such file names from 0001.jpg until 0030.jpg. Put each file name on a new line.

Stuck? Here's a hint!

Use a for loop:

for i in range (1, 31):
