JS Practice — Built-in Objects

String.prototype.padStart() — space padding (default)

📖 Usage Example

'5'.padStart(3, '0')       // → '005'
'hi'.padStart(5, '-')     // → '---hi'
'hello'.padStart(3)       // → 'hello'

Use padStart() to pad the beginning of a string with a fill character until it reaches the target length.

String.prototype.padStart() — Default Space Fill

Without a second argument, .padStart() pads with spaces.

Challenge: Implement rightAlign(str, width) that right-aligns text by padding with spaces.

rightAlign('42', 6) // → '    42'
