The center method provides a convenient way to center a string within a specified length by filling it with characters on the left and right. Here are some key points to note:

By default, if you do not provide a character to the center method, it uses a space character as the fill character.

If the length you provide to the center method is less than or equal to the length of the string you are calling the method on, the original string is returned as it is, without any modification.

Attempting to provide more than one character as the fill character to the center method will result in a TypeError.

In cases where the desired length requires uneven placement of characters around the string, the placement of the extra character depends on the length of the initial string. If the initial string is of even length, then the extra character is placed on the left. If the initial string is of odd length, then the extra character is placed on the right.

On the other hand, when the desired length can be evenly filled, the string you call the method on will be centered with the fill character you provided.
