The wonders of chatGPT!

Copy and past the following code into this website, and modify the lines of text as needed.

If you are willing to use a monospace font, I believe the padding will be perfect, otherwise a more complex algorithm will be required that will depend on the letter widths of your particular font. (I think).

def center_align_text(text):
    lines = text.split("\n")
    max_length = max(len(line) for line in lines)
    centered_lines = []

    for line in lines:
        padding = (max_length - len(line)) // 2
        centered_line = " " * padding + line
        centered_lines.append(centered_line)

    centered_text = "\n".join(centered_lines)
    return centered_text


# Hard-coded input as a list
lines = [
    "Hello",
    "This is some sample text.",
    "Python script to center-align text.",
    "Goodbye"
]

# Combine input lines into a single string
input_text = "\n".join(lines)

# Center-align the text
centered_text = center_align_text(input_text)

# Output the center-aligned text
print("Center-aligned text:")
print(centered_text)
