Go - Pad a number with zeros when printing

 

func main() {
    counter := 0
    var str string
    for _, i := range []byte("foobar") {
        letterBin := fmt.Sprintf("%08b", i)
        fmt.Println(letterBin)
        str = str + letterBin
        counter = counter + len(letterBin)
    }

    fmt.Println()
    fmt.Printf("%010d",counter)

    counter = 0
    for _, l := range str {
        if l == int32('1') {
            counter++
        }
    }
    fmt.Println()
    fmt.Println(counter)
}
