Python center() - Center a string in Python

The center() returns the centered string filled with the specified string.

s = 'apple'

s7 = s.center(7, '$')
s8 = s.center(8, '$')
s9 = s.center(9, '$')
s10 = s.center(10, '$')
s11 = s.center(11, '$')

print(s7)  # $apple$
print(s8)  # $apple$$
print(s9)  # $$apple$$
print(s10)  # $$apple$$$
print(s11)  # $$$apple$$$

The first argument is the length of return string. apple has 5 letters so center(9, '$') returns a 9 letter string filled with $ in the left and right.
