The question is simple: How do I repeat a string in Python?
I'm used to PHP.
When I want to repeat a string in PHP, I do so:
var $str = 'StackOverflow';
str_repeat($str, 5);
// Imprime: StackOverflowStackOverflowStackOverflowStackOverflowStackOverflow
I tried this:
'StackOverflow'.repeat(5);
However an error is returned:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'repeat'
Just multiply the desired string.
a = 'StackOverflow'
print (a * 5)
return will be:
'StackOverflowStackOverflowStackOverflowStackOverflowStackOverflow'
Is this enough for you?
str = 'StackOverflow'
print ((str[:13] + ' ') * 5)
See working on ideone .
The repetition occurs with the multiplication operator . Many criticize the operator overload for use with strings , but if you think about it, it makes sense.
You can get a snippet of string using the < in> slice , that is, it takes a part of string which is nothing more, roughly, than an array character.
