rb_str_rjust(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE str)
{
return rb_str_justify(argc, argv, str, 'r');
}
Returns a right-justified copy of self.
If integer argument size is greater than the size (in characters) of self, returns a new string of length size that is a copy of self, right justified and padded on the left with pad_string:
Example
'hello'.rjust(10) # => " hello" 'hello '.rjust(10) # => " hello " 'hello'.rjust(10, 'ab') # => "ababahello" 'тест'.rjust(10) # => " тест" 'こんにちは'.rjust(10) # => " こんにちは"
If size is not greater than the size of self, returns a copy of self:
Example
'hello'.rjust(5, 'ab') # => "hello" 'hello'.rjust(1, 'ab') # => "hello"
