Python String rjust() Method
Python String rjust() method returns a new string of a given length after substituting a given character on the left side of the original string.
Python String rjust() Method Syntax
Syntax: 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.
Return: Returns a new string of given length after substituting a given character in left side of original string.
Python String rjust() Method Example
Python3
string = 'geeks'length = 8print(string.rjust(length)) |
Output:
geeks
Example 1: Python String rjust() Method with ‘fillchar’ argument provided
Here we have defined a Python string and right-adjusted it to 8 characters with fillchar as ‘*‘.
Python3
# example stringstring = 'geeks'length = 8fillchar = '*'print(string.rjust(length, fillchar)) |
Output:
***geeks
Example 2: Practical Example using rjust() Method
Here, we have used String rjust() method to create the half-diamond pattern.
Python3
string = "awesome"max_width = len(string)fill_char = "_"# create the list of stringsstring_lst = [string[:len(string)-index] for index in range(len(string))]for item in sorted(string_lst, key=len): print(item.rjust(max_width, fill_char))for item in sorted(string_lst[1:], key=len, reverse=True): print(item.rjust(max_width, fill_char)) |
Output:
______a _____aw ____awe ___awes __aweso _awesom awesome _awesom __aweso ___awes ____awe _____aw ______a
