I’m trying to add a character many times before a string. AMAIK in C#, it’s PadLeft.
string firstName = "Mary";
firstName = firstName.PadLeft(3, '*'); // This should return ***Mary
But it doesn’t work. Am I doing something wrong?
The first argument is total length of the returned string, as "Mary" is 4 characters long and your first argument is 3, it is working as expected. If you try
firstName.PadLeft(6, '*')you’ll get **Mary.
