I'm looking for a way to display "1" as "01", so basically everything below 10 should have a leading 0.

What would be the best way to do this? I know I can just use a simple if structure to do this check, but this should be possible with NSNumberformatter right?

If you just want an NSString, you can simply do this:

NSString *myNumber = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%02d", number];

The %02d is from C. %nd means there must be at least n characters in the string and if there are less, pad it with 0's. Here's an example:

NSString *example = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%010d", number];

If the number variable only was two digits long, it would be prefixed by eight zeroes. If it was 9 digits long, it would be prefixed by a single zero.

If you want to use NSNumberFormatter, you could do this:

NSNumberFormatter * numberFormatter = [[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init];
[numberFormatter setPaddingPosition:NSNumberFormatterPadBeforePrefix];
[numberFormatter setPaddingCharacter:@"0"];
[numberFormatter setMinimumIntegerDigits:10];
NSNumber *number = [NSNumber numberWithInt:numberVariableHere];

----UPDATE------ I think this solves your problem:

[_minutes addObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:i]];
return [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%02d", [[_minutes objectAtIndex:row] intValue]];
