    for (int i = 0; i < delta; i++) {
        str = character + str;
return str;
StringleftPad(String string, char pad, int size)
Return the padded left of a string by padding character. 
if (string == null || size < 0) {
    return null;
} else if (string.length() == 0 || size == 0) {
    return "";
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
    sb.append(pad);
...
StringleftPad(String string, int length)
left Pad 
return leftPad(string, length, ' ');
StringleftPad(String strInput, int intLength)
Pad " " to string left side

buffer.append(value);
return buffer.toString();
StringleftPad(String value, int size, String pad)
