passing in an int in octal format

[newb4lyfe]

So I'm trying to take an int I acquire from a user and pass it into the chmod function. I can't figure out a way to put leading 0s onto it, and I'm not just printing it so I can't use an sstream. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

if sstream is short for stringstream, then yes, you can.
