Java Printing Question : Multiple characters through mathematical operations?

[fastftw]

I was looking at some python code and you can print characters multiple times through multiplication in a print statement. Example:

out.write("*"*d)

I was wondering if there is an equivalent in java? Something that would imitate

System.out.println("*"*3);

which would output:

***

Thanks a bunch!

Not as far as I know. Just use a for loop. There might be a string operation that does this (which is independent from the output stream) but I doubt it.

There's no standard multiplication operation for Strings. The only overloaded operator in Java is string+string, which works for concatenation.

You could write your own, but it wouldn't be as concise, which is fairly common in Java.
