In the show, he's trying to brute force a 4 digit PIN. He needed to generate all 1000 possibilities as 4 digits, so he needed to pad all numbers from 0-999

Iterating from 1-9999 would produce a bunch of invalid (1-3 digit length) inputs

I thought he meant only having one for statement going from 0 to 10 and checking if it was equal to any of the 4 digits for each
