What return type do you need at the end of all of these operations because leading zeros are not allowed for decimal numbers — Kaleba KB Keitshokile, Apr 18 '22 at 01:30
Leading zeros is not a thing in `python` `integer` type. But `string` formatting is what you're looking for. — MSH, Apr 18 '22 at 01:31

You can do it like this.

for i in range(0, 1000):
    print(f"{i:03}")

Addendum: If you simply want to print it, you need to convert it to string. You cannot have 001 in an integer format.

Edit: change the range to end at 1000, if you want to print 999.
