PadRight with length of 4 gives very long result

Question

var value = "0".PadRight('4', '0');
    
Console.WriteLine(value);

The result of this is 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 in both my project and .NET Fiddle.

Can someone explain why?

Answer 1

The first parameter of String.PadRight is an int, not a char:

public string PadRight (int totalWidth, char paddingChar);

In this line:

var value = "0".PadRight('4', '0');

'4' is converted to an int using its ascii value which is 52.

The result is 52 zeroes.
