### padEnd

padEnd() 方法会用一个字符串填充当前字符串（如果需要的话则重复填充），返回填充后达到指定长度的字符串。从当前字符串的末尾（右侧）开始填充。

**平台差异说明**

|JavaScript|Kotlin|Swift|
|:-:|:-:|:-:|
|√|√|√ `(3.6.11+)`|

```ts
const str1 = 'Breaded Mushrooms';
console.log(str1.padEnd(25, '.'));

console.log(str2.padEnd(5));
// expected output: "200  "
```
### padStart

padStart() 方法用另一个字符串填充当前字符串 (如果需要的话，会重复多次)，以便产生的字符串达到给定的长度。从当前字符串的左侧开始填充。

**平台差异说明**

|JavaScript|Kotlin|Swift|
|:-:|:-:|:-:|
|√|√|√ `(3.6.11+)`|

```ts
const str1 = '5';

**bug&tips**

当前版本android平台 start 与 end 参数声明为Int, 需要将number 参数转换为int

```uts
let a = 1
let b = 2
// 临时解决办法
"hello uts".substring(a.toInt(),b.toInt())
```

这个问题后续会修复
