Hi, PadRight is used to return string of a specified length in which the end of the current string is padded with spaces or with a specified Unicode character. what do you want here, what is the value of _averagekids and _averageadults in your code?

it is double and is set in string varaiable

I mean do you want just to add "/-" at the end of that string?

Yes
((_averagekids + "/-").ToString()).PadLeft(7));

Hi, try the below code, this should work for you, it will add padd after the string

C#

str1=(_averagekids + "/-").ToString().PadRight(7, ' '));
str2=(_averageadults + "/-").ToString().PadRight(7, ' '));
