In many real-world scenarios, you need to present data in a way that's both readable and visually organized, such as generating reports, displaying high scores, or logging events. Mastering custom output formatting with strings is essential for producing professional, clear output that aligns information in columns, making it easy to scan and interpret. You will now apply your string formatting skills to a practical scenario: aligning names and scores in a columnar format. This exercise will reinforce your understanding of alignment options and help you create output that's both attractive and functional.
