Print integers with * right-padded.

Write a Python program to print the following integers with '*' to the right of the specified width.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

# Define a variable 'x' and assign it the value 3 (an integer).
x = 3

# Define a variable 'y' and assign it the value 123 (an integer).
y = 123

# Print an empty line for spacing.
print()

# Print the original value of 'x' with a label.
print("Original Number: ", x)

# Format the value of 'x' with right padding using asterisks and a width of 3 characters, and print it.
print("Formatted Number (right padding, width 2): "+"{:*< 3d}".format(x))

# Print the original value of 'y' with a label.
print("Original Number: ", y)

# Format the value of 'y' with right padding using asterisks and a width of 7 characters, and print it.
print("Formatted Number (right padding, width 6): "+"{:*< 7d}".format(y))

# Print an empty line for spacing.
print()

Sample Output:

Original Number:  3                                                                                           
Formatted Number(right padding, width 2): 3*                                                                  
Original Number:  123                                                                                         
Formatted Number(right padding, width 6): 123***
