Hi Java experts.
Is there a command for Java that would allow me to repeat the same character a certain number of times, like:

- I want to print "**********", so I need a command like

repeat("*", 10) , i.e., repeat the character "*" ten times.

Is there such a command in Java (note that my "repeat" is just an example).

??

public void repeat(String c,int amount) {

String strng = new String();

for(int i=0;i<amount;i++) {
strng += c; // <- Not sure if this line works.
}
System.out.println(strng)

}

I haven't done Strings in College yet, and its been four or so years since I was doing it myself. But that shouldnt be too wrong.

Over to server-side scripting for this.

Thank you guys.
I'm gonna use your ideas but actually my question was: is there a "repeat" command built-in in Java language, ready to be used, like substring() and others?

I guess you answered the question and the answer is: "No! - You have to code your own "repeat" method".

If I remember my old times of Visual Basic, there were such a simple built-in instruction in that language and it was named repeat()... I'm not sure.
