I'm in trouble , I need to send a set of numbers to a function , for example: ' 01599874425 ' .
however, when the set of numbers is sent to a function, if the first character is 0, it is deleted .
I do not want that to happen ,is there a javascript function or conversion to not let that happen ?

As in any scripting language, pass it as a string.

That is _not_ a set of numbers; it is, at best, a set of (decimal) digits
making up *one* number.

No, if as posted it most certainly is not. Either you have a strange idea
of what it means to "send" something "to a function" (in proper language,
you _pass_ a _value_ as an _argument_ to a function) or something in the
function code lets the leading zero disappear from the passed value.

Nobody can tell for sure until you post both the expression in which you
call the function, and the function code (passing numbers as strings just
for the sake of it is a bad idea; do not listen to wannabes). You did not
even say why you want to do this. (If this is homework, do your own
homework. We can assist you if you are stuck, but it is rather unlikely
that we do your homework for you.)

1. There is no â??javascriptâ?, see the ECMAScript Support Matrix (URI below).

2. <http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-question...

3. In English, punctuation is usually not preceded by whitespace. You would
be well-advised to post in an easily readable way because otherwise busy,
knowledgable people tend to skip postings that are not easily readable.

Matheus was just giving an example. No need for bragging about your knowledge in Set Theory. Once again, you're missing the point.

By "We", Thomas meant "We, the supreme pedantic assholes in the Usenet,", not the c.l.js group.

"Pointy Ears" comes again with his usual annoying BS. There is no "PointedEars".

Good. Now the "busy" German troll is lecturing English to foreigners.

Sets don't contain duplicates so I would not say he's bragging.

How I hate that document. It has some very sounds advice but I never
refer anyone to it because I cringe at the Usenet culture of bullying it
endorses. Usenet needs more smart answers than it needs smart
questions.

How can you tell?
x is a member; x is a member; x is a member.
Does that tell you if there is duplication, or not? Remember, there's
no other way to look inside a set.

x not in (S \ {x}). |{x}| = 1. x in S => |S \ {x}| = |S| - 1. These
are inconsistent with my understanding of the metaphor of duplication
(though I accept it might have other nuances for other people).

If you are allowed metaphors like "look" and "inside", so am I!

Matheus, if you want to maximize the usefulness of this site and
minimize the wasted time, I strongly suggest you block Thomas' messages
and all the replies to him. These stupid arguments are common here and
some just keep feeding the troll.

Despite the good tiding intended,
there is no site in sight,
this is Usenet.

I don't understand why Thomas will accept "car" as a general name for
a variety of different things with something in common, but won't
accept "javascript" as a general name for a variety of things with
much in common.

If he wrote "There is no *one* javascript" it would cease to be
obnoxious, though lacking in explanation.

The fact that the World Wide Web is using the word "site" for its
locations does not preclude us from using it in other common ways
found in English, such as a synonym for "location", even for such
an abstraction of "location" that would encompass a USENET group.
