One of the tasks in Lab #3 was to take a variable containing the name of a city and pad it out on the right with blanks to a length of 16 characters. Many people did this with a counter loop: City = ... # Some name like "Boston" or "Vancouver" Needed = 16 - len(City) Count = 0 while (Count < Needed): City = City + " " Count = Count + 1 or the equivalent for-loop: City = ... # Some name like "Boston" or "Vancouver" Needed = 16 - len(City) for Count in range(Needed): City = City + " " These solutions are fine, but they are lengthy. Assuming that the variable City has already been assigned a city name, solve this same problem in exactly ONE more line of code. There are at least six distinct acceptable possible solutions (a couple we have not covered in class but several that have).
