Python String rjust
Python String rjust() is used to right align the given string in specified space (length) and optionally fill the left out space with the specified character.
In this tutorial, we will learn the syntax and examples for rjust() method of String class.
Syntax
The syntax to call rjust() method on string x in Python is
x.rjust(length, character)
where
| Parameter | Required / Optional | Description |
|---|---|---|
| length | Required | An integer representing the length of resulting string. |
| character | Optional | A character to fill the missing space. Default value is a single space character. |
Examples
In the following program, we take a string, and right align the string in a space of 20, and fill the left out space with '-' character.
Example.py
x = 'hello world'
result = x.rjust(20, '-')
print('Original String : ', x)
print('Result String : ', result)
Output
Original String : hello world Result String : ---------hello world
If character parameter is not specified, single space characters are filled in the left out space.
Example.py
x = 'hello world'
result = x.rjust(20)
print('Original String : ', x)
print('Result String : ', result)
Output
Original String : hello world Result String : hello world
Conclusion
In this Python Tutorial, we learned how to right align a string using rjust() method, with examples.
