char strbuf[10+1];
int meaning = 42;
std::sprintf(strbuf, "%010d", meaning);
std::string message(strbuf);

std::string message = std::format("The answer is {:010d}.", 42);

#include "absl/strings/str_format.h"
std::string message = absl::StrFormat("The answer is %010d.", 42);

And don’t forget to include str_format in your BUILD Bazel file.
