+// What's the use of `padStart()` and `padEnd()` in JavaScript?
+//
+// String padding is often needed to ensure consistent formatting.
+// Common examples in ServiceNow:
+//  - Padding numeric IDs with leading zeros (e.g., "INC000045")
+//  - Making export data columns align neatly
+//  - Adding placeholders to strings for integration formatting
+//
+// padStart(targetLength, padString)
+//    → Pads a string from the start until it reaches the target length
+//
+// padEnd(targetLength, padString)
+//    → Pads a string from the end until it reaches the target length
+//
+// Example:
+// "1234".padStart(10, "x"); // → "xxxxxx1234"
+// "1234".padEnd(10, "y");   // → "1234yyyyyy"
