# Write a function named right_justify that takes a string named s 
# as a parameter and prints the string with enough leading spaces 
# so that the last letter of the string is in column 70 of the display.
# >>> right_justify('allen')
#                                                                 allen

    length = len(s)
    num_of_spaces = 70 - length
    print(' '*num_of_spaces, s)
