JavaScript is a fundamental asset for any web developer. As an evolving language, new releases continue to refine it to make it more accessible for large-scale use. ECMA Script, or ES in short, is the standardized name for the programming language popularly known as JavaScript. The sixth release of the script is known as ES6 and features major enhancements which improve Javascript's usability. Writing and reading code is now easier with the introduction of features like Arrows, Symbols, etc. 

This course provides a practical view into all of the components present in ES6. We'll discuss the importance of each component, learning how and why it makes things simpler in Javascript. Interactive exercises and quizzes will help you adopt these modern coding practices for JavaScript. ES6 is rapidly growing in popularity, and this course is essential for anyone who wants to be fully immersed into JavaScript.

JavaScript In Practice: ES6 And Beyond

This lesson is about two String prototype extensions:

- [padStart](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/padStart)
- [padEnd](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/padEnd)

These two methods are not yet implemented in all browsers. You need to open the Firefox developer tools or Chrome 57 to experiment with them. 

Padding is used to add additional characters to the start or the end of a string so that it reaches a given size.

Padding is useful in character mode for alignment.

In the following example, let's format the amounts such that the integer part contains six characters, and the fractional part contains two characters. Let's pad the characters in front of the integer part with spaces, and the decimal part with zeros.

Let's console log the result.
