In a shell script I coded:

printf "padded=%02d:%02d:%02d\n", $hour,$minute,$sec

With the following values:
$hour=0
$minute=7
$sec=26

However when I run the script I get an error:

/usr/local/gary/bin/myscript: line 37: printf: 0,7,26: invalid number
time=00:00:00

Why?

This is shell, not C; arguments to commands are delimited with
whitespace, not commas:

printf "padded=%02d:%02d:%02d\n" $hour $minute $sec

Use spaces, not commas, between arguments in a shell script.

printf "padded=%02d:%02d:%02d\n" $hour $minute $sec

printf "padded=%02d:%02d:%02d\n" "$hour" "$minute" "$sec"

remember that leaving a variable unquoted has a very special
meaning to the shell.
