TEXT ALIGNMENT

Python provides the methods ljust(), rjust(), and center() for aligning text. The ljust() and rjust() functions left justify and right justify a text string, respectively, whereas the center() function will center a string. An example is shown in the following code block:

text = 'Hello World'
text.ljust(20)
'Hello World '
>>> text.rjust(20)
' Hello World'
>>> text.center(20)
' Hello World '

You can use the format() function to align text. Use the <, >, or ^ characters, along with a desired width, in order to right justify, left justify, and center the text, respectively. The following examples illustrate how you can specify text justification:

>>> format(text, '>20')
'         Hello World'
>>>
>>> format(text, '<20')
'Hello World         '
>>>
>>> format(text, '^20')
'    Hello World     '
>>>
