Kotlin Programming Cookbook

How to do it…

In this recipe, we will use the kotlin.stdlib library of Kotlin. Specifically, we will be working with the padStart and padEnd functions. Let's now follow the given steps to understand how to use these functions:

1. Let's see an example of the padStart function:

fun main(args: Array<String>) {    val string="abcdef"    val pad=string.padStart(10,'-')    println(pad)}

This is the output:

 ----abcdef

2. Next, we look at an example of padEnd:

val string="abcdef"val pad=string.padEnd(10,'-')println(pad)

Here's the output:

 abcdef----
