Create a string with n blank spaces or other repeated character

Question

I want to make a string with n blank spaces using Swift, but without using a for loop or manually like this:

// string with 5-blank spa         


        

Answer 1

I think we can play with stringbyPaddingToLength

something like this should work:

var str = " ";
var str2 = str.stringByPaddingToLength(20, withString: " ", startingAtIndex: 0);
