 // =============> write your answer here
 
+// =============> Answer: The pad function is called for the first time with the argument totalHours, which is 0. So the value assigned to num when pad is called for the first time is 0.

 // c) What is the return value of pad when it is called for the first time?
 // =============> write your answer here
 
+// =============> Answer: numString = "0" (since 0.toString() is "0"), the while loop checks if "0"length is less than 2, which is true, "0" is padded with a "0" to become "00". So the return value of pad when it is called for the first time is '00'
