Description

The following code shows how to use the PadLeft() and PadRight() methods to align strings.

Example


  //ww w .  j ava  2  s.co  m
  
  
    

using System;

class MainClass {

    public static void Main() {
        string[] myStrings = {"To", "be", "or", "not","to", "be java2s.com"};
        string myString = String.Join(".", myStrings);        

        string myString14 = '(' + myString.PadLeft(20) + ')';
        Console.WriteLine("'(' + myString.PadLeft(20)+ ')' = " + myString14);
        string myString15 = '(' + myString.PadLeft(20, '.') + ')';
        Console.WriteLine("'(' + myString.PadLeft(20, '.') =" + myString15);
        string myString16 = '(' + myString.PadRight(20) + ')';
        Console.WriteLine("'(' + myString.PadRight(20) + ')' =" + myString16);
        string myString17 = '(' +
        myString.PadRight(20, '.') + ')';
        Console.WriteLine("'(' +myString.PadRight(20, '.') + ')' = " + myString17);

    
    }
}
