Using the * Operator for String Repetition

The * operator can be used to repeat a string a specified number of times.


How to Use the * Operator

The * operator multiplies a string by a number (integer) to produce a repeated sequence of that string. This effectively copies and concatenates the string multiple times.

Example of String Repetition
repeat_string = "Python! " * 3

print(repeat_string) # "Python! Python! Python!"

How is String Repetition Utilized?

By using the * operator, you can repeat strings to create specific patterns or to represent dividers in various applications.

Example of Creating a String Pattern
divider = "-" * 20

print(divider) # "--------------------"
