Simple way to repeat a string

Question

I\'m looking for a simple commons method or operator that allows me to repeat some string n times. I know I could write this using a for loop, but I wish to avoid f

Answer 1

Not the shortest, but (i think) the fastest way is to use the StringBuilder:

 /**
   * Repeat a String as many times you need.
   *
   * @param i - Number of Repeating the String.
   * @param s - The String wich you want repeated.
   * @return The string n - times.
   */
  public static String repeate(int i, String s) {
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    for (int j = 0; j < i; j++)
      sb.append(s);
    return sb.toString();
  }
