rightPad

The rightPad function is a utility method provided by the web3.utils module that adds a padding on the right of a string. The function takes three parameters: value, characterAmount, and sign.

The function takes in three parameters:

• value: The value to be padded. This can be an integer, a big integer, or a string. If value is an integer or big integer, it will be converted to a hex string.
• characterAmount: The number of characters to add to the right of the string. This must be a positive number.
• sign: An optional string that represents the sign to be used for the padding. The default value is '0'.

The rightPad function returns a string that has been padded on the right with the specified number of characters. If value is a string, the padding will be added to the end of the string. If value is an integer or big integer, the padding will be added to the end of the hex string representation of the number.

Here's an example of how the rightPad function can be used:

In this example, the rightPad function is called with the value 123, the character amount 8, and the sign '0'. The function returns a string that has been padded on the right with eight zeros, resulting in the string "00000000123".
