center/centre


>>-+-center(-+-length-+--------+-)-----------------------------><
   +-centre(-+        +-,--pad-+

Returns a string of length [length] with the receiving string centered in it. The [pad] characters are added as necessary to make up length. The [length] must be a positive whole number or zero. The default [pad] character is blank. If the receiving string is longer than [length] , it is truncated at both ends to fit. If an odd number of characters are truncated or added, the right-hand end loses or gains one more character than the left-hand end.

Note

To avoid errors because of the difference between British and American spellings, this method can be called either [center] or [centre].
