Hi Tristan,

thank you for this interesting post.

As an addition I would like to point to the ids package for creating random ids:

ids::random_id(n = 1, bytes = 3)
# "6a118f"

An alternative to the direct sprintf-call could be using formatC

a <- sprintf(paste0("p", "%0", 3, "d"), 1:3)
b <- paste0("p", formatC(1:3, width = 3, flag = "0"))

all.equal(a, b)

Best regards

Thanks for the example. I don't think I have used formatC() before.
