## Overview
The **`padStart()` method** is a string method that is used to pad a string with another string. `padStart()` pads the current string with another until the resulting string reaches the specified length.

## Syntax
```
// [length] = resulting string length
// [padString] = string to pad with current string
padStart([length], [padString])
```

## Parameters
* `[length]`: Denotes the length of the resulting string. This is the string length of the result or returned value.

* `[padString]`: The string that you want to use to pad the current string. `[padString]` is applied to the current string from the start position. Note that this parameter is optional and the default is a space, `" "`.

## Return value
The return value of the `padString()` method is a new string with the specified length (`[length]`) that is padded with the specified pad string (`[padString]`).

## Example
Let's pad a string in an easy way. We want to pad the string `"ouch"` with our pad string `"O"`, the uppercase character `"o"`, and a length of 7. This will result in 
the new string `"OOOouch"`.


// create a string
let ourString = "ouch";

// pad the string
let paddedString = ourString.padStart(7, "O");

// log the string to console
console.log(paddedString); // "OOOouch"

> Note: The `length` parameter should not be greater than the string length. Otherwise, it won't be padded.

## Example

When the `length` parameter is less than the string length, then no pad is added. Hence, the resulting length should be more than the current string length.

/*
 length parameter(2) should be greater than 
 current string length ("ish"). 
*/

console.log("ish".padStart(2, "i")) // "ish"

#    
## Example
We can also use multiple pad characters. In the example below, we use `"Ed"` to pad the string `"presso"`.

// create a string
let ourString = "presso";

// pad our string
let paddedString = ourString.padStart(8, "Ed")

// log padded string to console
console.log(paddedString); // "Edpresso"

What is padStart() in JavaScript?

JavaScript's padStart() method pads the beginning of a string with another string until a specified length is reached.
