How to make padding spaces results of a similar length when using non alphanumeric characters?

Question

I am using javascript, and I want the output of the following console.log() to be of a same length.

const str1 = 'English';
console.log(str1.padEnd(10, '.'));

const str2 = '日本語';
console.log(str2.padEnd(10, '.'));

However, the current output is as following:

> "English..."
> "日本語......."

My desired output is as following:

> "English..."
> "日本語....."

I am trying my example based on the explanation here String.prototype.padEnd()

How to achieve this?

Answer 1

For doing this you can find the length of both strings using the length() methods of javascript and then add the padEnd method according to the difference

const str1 = 'English';
const str2 = '日本語';

const a=str1.length;
const b=str2.length;

const c= a-b;
console.log(str1);
console.log(str2.padEnd(c,'.'))

This will also make the whole thing dynamic as well
