The ljust method
The ljust
method returns a string in which the text is filled and aligned to the left. In the first parameter of the method, we pass a number to indicate the length of the string, in the second optional parameter - a filler character, by default it is a space.
Syntax
string.ljust(stringlength, [placeholder symbol])
Example
Let's apply the ljust
method to our string, and specify an exclamation mark as the placeholder:
txt = 'abc'
print(txt.ljust(6, '!'))
Result of code execution:
'abc!!!'
Example
Let's apply the ljust
method to our string without specifying a placeholder:
txt = 'abc'
print(txt.ljust(6))
Result of code execution:
'abc '
