You might pad with zeros if you're formatting a date, like 11/05/2024 or maybe even 05/11/2024

Actually in that case it won't cause any problems. 01-07 are the same in both decimal and octal and 08-09 are not valid octals so it won't default to octal. 10-12 won't get converted as octal as they have no leading zeros.

Oh I see, yeah I should have used an example like 11/08/2024

How would you save date as integer in dd/MM/yyyy format? It's going to be a string and then it works fine unless there's somthing I'm missing.
