Python: String Formatter Align center

Question

How do I print it in the center? Is there a quick way to do this?

print('$s' % "MyString")     # prints right-aligned

print('%-24s' % "MyString")    # prints left aligned

I don't need the text to be in the middle of my screen. I only need to have it in the middle of those 24 spaces.

Answer 1

For achieving your result, you have to work with the new-style format function instead of the old-style % operator, which doesn't have the centering property:

print('{:^24s}'.format("MyString"))
