JavaScript String padEnd() Method (original) (raw)

Last Updated : 16 Jul, 2024

The **padEnd() method in JavaScript is used to pad a string with another string until it reaches the given length. The padding is applied from the right end of the string.

**Syntax:

string.padEnd( targetLength, padString );

**Parameters:

This method accepts two parameters as mentioned above and described below:

• **targetLength: It is the length of the final string once the original string has been padded. If the value is less than the original string length, then the original string is returned.
• **padString: It is the string that is to be padded with the original string. If this value is too long to be within the targetLength, it is truncated.

**Return Value:

It returns the final string that is padded with the given string of the given length.

**Example 1: This example uses the padEnd() method to pad strings into another string.

JavaScript `

// Function to implement padEnd method function padStrings() { // Input methods exString = "Hello"; exString2 = "Geeks";

// Implement padEnd methods to add symbols at end
output = exString.padEnd(12, "$");
output2 = exString2.padEnd(12, "Geeks");

// Display output
console.log(output);

console.log(output2);

} // Function call padStrings()

`

Output

**Example 2: This example uses the padEnd() method to pad numbers into another number.

JavaScript `

// Function to implement padEnd method function padNumbers() { // Input numbers exNumber = 1234; exNumber2 = 99;

// Implement padEnd 
output = String(exNumber).padEnd(8, "0");
output2 = String(exNumber2).padEnd(8, "**");

// Display output number
console.log(output);
console.log(output2);

}

// Function call padNumbers()
