[SOLVED] How to check if all values in the list are the same length? And if not how to add extra digits to equalise those values?

How to check if all values in the list are the same length? And if not how to add extra digits to equalise those values?

I'm doing a little coding in Python, and I came up to the issue that some of my values and not the same length.

Desired length is 15 characters

for example:

string = ['110000111100111', '100100110011011', '001101100110', '01011010001110', '111100111001', '1101100111011']

Some of these values are different, and I want to add zeros to equalise them to the same length. Specifically by adding some zeros to those values that are shorter.

Can someone give me a hand on this?

Many thanks!

I tried comparing them and finding shorter values in the list. I'm new to this.

Solution

Try this:

s = ['110000111100111', '100100110011011', '001101100110', '01011010001110', '1100111001', '1101100111011']

s = [x.zfill(15) for x in s]

zfill() will pad a string with zeros on the left, up to the desired string length.
