Python - String Method - rjust() Tutorial

This method returns a right-justified(right-aligned) string of given minimum width, using a specified character (space as default) as the fill character.

Syntax-

String.rjust(length, fillchar)

#length - It is the total length of the string that needs to be returned
after filling the specified characters on the left end(beginning) of the actual string.
#fillchar - (Optional) It is the specified character that needs to be filled
on the left end(beginning) of the actual string. By default it is space

Example-  

str1 = "Hello Python"
print(str1.rjust(30))
print(str1.rjust(30,'*'))
print(str1.rjust(2))

Output-

                  Hello Python
******************Hello Python
Hello Python

In the above program,

Line 2- str1 is aligned at right and remaining is aligned with spaces on the left, with the total length of the new string as 30

Line 3- str1 is aligned at right and remaining is aligned with specified character "*" on the left, with the total length of the new string as 30

Line 4- On providing length less than the original string. then it will return the original string.
