string.rjust(length, fillchar)
Parameters:
length: length of the modified string. If length is less than or equal to the length of the original string then original string is returned.
fillchar: (optional) characters which needs to be padded. If it’s not provided, space is taken as a default argument.
Returns:
Returns a new string of given length after substituting a given character in left side of original string.
Example
# Python program to demonstrate working of # rjust()string = 'geeks'length = 8 # If no fill character is provided, space# is used as fill characterprint(string.rjust(length)) |
Output:
geeks
Example
# example stringstring = 'geeks'length = 8fillchar = '*' print(string.rjust(length, fillchar)) |
Output:
***geeks
2. String ljust()
The string ljust() method returns a new string of given length after substituting a given character in right side of original string.
Syntax:
string.ljust(length, fillchar)
Parameters:
length: length of the modified string. If length is less than or equal to the length of the original string then original string is returned.
fillchar: (optional) characters which needs to be padded. If it’s not provided, space is taken as a default argument.
Returns:
Returns a new string of given length after substituting a given character in right side of original string.
Example 1
# example stringstring = 'geeks'length = 8 # If no fill character is provided, space# is used as fill character.print(string.ljust(length)) |
Output: (Three spaces are printed after geeks)
geeks
Example 2
# example stringstring = 'geeks'length = 8fillchar = '*' # print left justified stringprint(string.ljust(length, fillchar)) |
Output:
geeks***
