zero is omitted while converting integer to string
if(time.hour<10) { currtime=currtime+"0"+IntegerToString(time.hour)+ ":"; }
Is the condition I have to apply after my statement. Say for example:
string currenttime=IntegerToString(time.year)+"-0"+ IntegerToString(time.mon)+"-"+ IntegerToString(time.day)+ " "+ IntegerToString(time.hour)+ ":"+ IntegerToString(time.min)+ ":00"; if(time.hour<10) { currtime=currtime+"0"+IntegerToString(time.hour)+ ":"; }
Or only the statements you have suggested .please let me know
Of course leading zeros are omitted. Why would you expect 8 to be converted to 08 or 0000008?
Format it how you want.
string as_string(const MqlDateTime& time){ return StringFormat("%i-%02i-%02i %02i:%02i:00", time.year, time.mon, time.day, time.hour,time.min);
Because you are converting each piece. Why would you expect 8 to be converted to 08 or 0000008?
Format it how you want.
Actually, I am trying to compare the dates from the MQL5 and the test file that I am using to predict stuff. And the file has that format available. While I am comparing the comparison and not making it possibl for me to get teh utput just because of the zero that got added in extra. Can you help?
Then do that. Convert the text to a datetime and compare them.
Thjere are several way's.
Maybe
TimeToString();
And it also has flags
TIME_DATE TIME_MINUTES TIME_SECONDS
Here: https://www.mql5.com/en/docs/convert/timetostring
string TimeToString( datetime value, // number int mode=TIME_DATE|TIME_MINUTES // output format );

In between of course so it add the "0" before the hour if <10.

Then do that. Convert the text to a datetime and compare them.
I strongly agree that this is the only option that should be considered.
Please don't get fooled by people telling you that 'there is only one way'.
In the end all that matters is that your code does what you designed it to do, and that it (hopefully) pay's off.
How you got there is less important then getting there.
There are many many ways to make something work.
If someone claims that there is only one way to the top, it shows a very narrow mindset.
In stead try all things that you can come up with and pick the one that performs best.
The other attempts will come in handy when you try to solve other problems in the future.

See the following code I tried:
The output of the following was: 2018-7-25 15:8:00 where I was expecting the output as 2018-07-25 15:08:00, that is in 2 values the month and the min. But it is not converting the zero. The date time what I am giving is in the format 2018-07-25 15:08:00, which is I am expecting to get after converting to string. But got something else. Please help me.
