rpad

rpad(string, n, p)

Make a string at least n columns wide when printed, by padding on the right with copies of p.

Examples

In the Julia programming language, the function rpad(string, n, p) is used to create a string that is at least n columns wide when printed. It achieves this by padding the string on the right with copies of p. Here are some examples of how it can be used:

Pad a string with spaces:
```
julia> rpad("hello", 10, ' ')
"hello     "
```
This example pads the string "hello" with spaces on the right until it becomes at least 10 columns wide.
Pad a string with a specific character:
```
julia> rpad("hello", 8, '-')
"hello---"
```
It pads the string "hello" with hyphens until it becomes at least 8 columns wide.
Handle cases where the string is already wider than n:
```
julia> rpad("hello", 4, '*')
"hello"
```
In this case, the original string "hello" is already wider than the desired width of 4 columns, so no padding is added.

Common mistake example:

julia> rpad("hello", -5, ' ')
ERROR: DomainError with -5:
Negative widths are not allowed for rpad!.

Here, a negative width is provided, which is not allowed for rpad. Make sure to provide a positive value for n to avoid this error.

Remember to provide a valid character for padding (p) and ensure that the resulting string is not wider than the desired width (n).
