Is it possible to generate Instance IDs that are numerically the same but different as a string?

Hey,

Is it possible to generate Instance IDs that are numerically the same but different as strings, such as "00A" and "A"?

The Instance IDs are automatically generated by PlayFab. It is by design and there is no such way to change the way they are generated.

I'm sorry, that was not a good way to ask the question.

I would like to know if there are InstanceIDs generated by PlayFab that are numerically equal but different as strings.

For example, when I get two items, is it possible that their InstanceIDs will be something like "00A" and "A"?

PlayFab Instance ID is numeric in the back-end and is displayed as hexadecimal in most interfaces. It is randomly generated in the first place, hence it is very rare that two Instance IDs are equal.

Thank you for answering.

Just because it is very rare, does that mean it is not guaranteed to be the same number?
