How to pad a string on both sides in C#

Answer 1

using System;

class PadString
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        string str = "C#";
        int totalLength = 9; // Desired total length
        char padChar = '*';

        string padded = padString(str, totalLength, padChar);
        Console.WriteLine("Padded string: " + padded);
    }

    static string padString(string str, int totalLength, char padChar) {
        int paddingLeft = (totalLength - str.Length) / 2;
        string padded = str.PadLeft(paddingLeft + str.Length).PadRight(totalLength);
        
        return padded.Replace(' ', padChar);
    }
