How to repeat each of the individual letters in a piece of text? in Java

Question

As in a stutter the number of times specified by the provided multiplier if the text was \"dean\" and the multiplier 3, the result would be \"ffffdeeeaaannn\".

Answer 1

You are simply appending the word "dean" to the end of your string three times.

Try instead looping through each char in the word dean and appending that char three times.

Something like this (this is pseudocode):

StringBuilder repeat = new StringBuilder();

ForEach( letter in "dean" )
    For( int i = 0 ; i < 3 ; i++ )
        repeat.add(letter);

Return repeat
