ex_11_generate_n_chars.py

#Define a function generate_n_chars() that takes an integer n and a character c and returns a string, n characters long, consisting only of c:s. For example, generate_n_chars(5,"x") should return the string "xxxxx". (Python is unusual in that you can actually write an expression 5 * "x" that will evaluate to "xxxxx". For the sake of the exercise you should ignore that the problem can be solved in this manner.)

def generate_n_chars(n, c):
    ans = ''
    for i in range(0,n,1):
        ans += c
    return ans

# str = generate_n_chars(int(raw_input('Number of characters: ')), raw_input('Which character? '))
# print 'The result string is ', str
