What is the easiest way to generate a String of n repeated characters?

Question

Given a character c and a number n, how can I create a String that consists of n repetitions of c? Doing it manually is too cumbersome:

StringBuilder sb = ne         


        

Answer 1

Just add it to your own...

public static String generateRepeatingString(char c, Integer n) {
    StringBuilder b = new StringBuilder();
    for (Integer x = 0; x < n; x++)
        b.append(c);
    return b.toString();
}

Or Apache commons has a utility class you can add.
