capitalize() Converts the first character to upper case

casefold() Converts string into lower case

center() Returns a centered string

he center() method in Python is a string method used to center-align a string within


a specified width. It returns a new string that is padded with a specified character
(default is space) to make the original string appear centered within the given width.
Syntax:
string.center(width, fillchar)
 width: The total width of the resulting string.
 fillchar (optional): The character used for padding. The default is a space ('
').
Key Points:
 If the specified width is less than or equal to the length of the string, the
original string is returned.
 Padding characters are added equally to both sides of the string. If the total
padding cannot be evenly divided, the extra space is added to the right side.
Examples:
Example 1: Centering a String with Default Padding
text = "hello"
centered_text = text.center(10)
print(repr(centered_text)) # Output: ' hello '
Here, the string "hello" is padded with spaces on both sides to make its total length 10.
