rjust( ) FUNCTION

rjust( ) Function

The rjust( ) Function is used to right justify a String using Space by default.

x = "Hello"
y = x.rjust(10)
print(y)

Output :

Hello

In the above code, we have declared a String 'Hello' and assigned it to a variable 'x'.

x = "Hello"

Then we have created a variable 'y' that will reserve '10' blocks. And right justified the String 'Hello' using 'rjust( )' Function.

y = x.rjust(10)

That shifts the String Hello towards the right filling the first 5 locations with space (i.e. ' ').

Now, let us say you want the fill the left blocks with something other than spaces.

And luckily, Python provides a second parameter that can be used as a padding character.

Let us see with the below example.

x = "Hello"
y = x.rjust(10, "*")
print(y)

*****Hello

In the above code, we have declared a String 'Hello' and assigned it to a variable 'x'.

x = "Hello"

Then we have created a variable 'y' that will reserve '10' blocks. And right justified the String 'Hello' using 'rjust( )' Function.

y = x.rjust(10, "*")

That shifts the String Hello towards the right filling the first 5 locations with asterisk (i.e. '*').
