The zfill() method adds zeros to the front of the string until the total length of the string is equal to the integer passed to the method. https://www.w3schools.com/JUMP_LINK__&&__python__&&__JUMP_LINK/ref_string_zfill.asp

A similar kind of fill can also be done with str.ljust(n), .rjust(n) or .center(n). The fill characters are spaces. This gives the following result compared to your test: 00solo solo solo solo

You can see the available methods for any module in the playground or your CLI or IDLE etc by using the help() method. in the playground you can use; print(help(module_name)) to see what is available. You can also view a specific method of that module by using the name of the method. print(help(module_name.method_name)) For str print(help(str)) For the zfill() in the str module print(help(str.zfill))
