// Questions

// a) When formatTimeDisplay is called how many times will pad be called?
// =>The pad function will be called three times within the formatTimeDisplay function: once for hours, once for minutes, and once for seconds.

// Call formatTimeDisplay with an input of 143, now answer the following:

// b) What value is assigned to the parameter num when pad is called for the first time?

// c) What is the return value of pad when it is called for the first time?

// d) What is the value assigned to the parameter num when pad
// is called for the last time in this program?  Explain your answer

// e) What is the return value when pad is called
// for the last time in this program?  Explain your answer

// f) Research an alternative way of padding the numbers in this code.
