print spacing with {:23}

Question

name = "Gordon"
response ="My name is {}".format(name)
print("{:23}".format(response))
Why {:23} fails to spacing?🤔

Answer 1

It is spaced, but with left alignment. So you probably didn't notice. Try

name = "Gordon"
response ="My name is {}".format(name)
print("{:23} Chan.".format(response))

If you want right alignment, use {:>23}
