Python String Alignment: rjust Method

Description

The rjust() method returns a string right-aligned within a string of length width. The fill character is the specified fillchar (defaults to a space). If width is less than len(s), the original string is returned.

Syntax

The syntax of the rjust() method is as follows:

var.rjust(width[, fillchar])

Parameters

• width − This is the total length of the string after padding.
• fillchar − This is the fill character, which defaults to a space.

Return Value

This method returns a string, right-aligned within a string of length width. The fill character is the specified fillchar (a space by default). If width is less than len(s), the original string is returned.

Example

The following example demonstrates the use of the rjust() method.

var = "This Is String Example....WOW!!!"
var1 = var.rjust(40, '*')

print ("original string:", var)
print ("Right justified string:", var1)

When you run this program, it will produce the following output:

original string: This Is String Example....WOW!!!
Right justified string: ********This Is String Example....WOW!!!
