hello there,  
I’m trying to create a countdown timer from 42 to 0,  
that work pretty good, but I want to make more space between the the number 1 0 something like this

this is my code:

```auto

timer = 42;

countdown = function(){
     timer--;
     if(timer==0){
          clearInterval(countdownInterval);
     }
}

countdownInterval = setInterval(countdown,1000);

```

how i can make it?
