I assume you mean inclusive of 1000 and 2000.\r\n" );
document.write( "Let's put the number 1000, which has 3 zeros, aside \r\n" );
document.write( "for a moment and look only at the 1000 whole numbers\r\n" );
document.write( "from 1001 to 2000. \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "There are 1000 ones digits.\r\n" );
document.write( "One tenth of them are 1's, one-tenth of them are 2's,\r\n" );
document.write( "one-tenth of them 3's, etc., one-tenth of them are 9's.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "One-tenth of 1000 is 100.\r\n" );
document.write( "So 100 of the ones digits are 0's.  Similarly\r\n" );
document.write( "100 of the tens digits are 0's, and\r\n" );
document.write( "100 of the hundreds digits are 0's, so there are\r\n" );
document.write( "300 zeros from 1001 through 2000.  There are no\r\n" );
document.write( "zeros among the thousades digits because they are\r\n" );
document.write( "all 1's but the last one, which is a 2.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So that makes 300 zeros, plus the 3 zeros from 1000.\r\n" );
