##Using .padEnd() instead of .repeat() (ES8)

Under certain circumstances, using .padEnd() instead of .repeat() saves bytes.

We can take advantage of the following properties:

• the default padding string is a single space
• when provided, the second parameter is implicitly coerced to a string

###Repeating spaces

With .repeat():

' '.repeat(10)

Using .padEnd() saves 1 byte:

''.padEnd(10)

###Repeating a dynamic value that needs to be coerced to a string

With .repeat():

x=1;
(x+'').repeat(10)

Using .padEnd() saves 2 bytes:

x=1;
''.padEnd(10,x)
