Python display string multiple times

Question

I want to print a character or string as '-' n number of times.

Can I do this without using a loop? .. Is there a function like

print('-',3) 

.., which would mean typing - 3 times, for example:

 --- 

Answer 1

Python 2.x:

 print '-' * 3 

Python 3.x:

 print('-' * 3) 

Answer 2

The accepted answer is short and nice, but there is an alternative syntax here that allows you to use a delimiter in Python 3.x.

 print(*3*('-',), sep='_') 

Answer 3

To print a string 3 times in Python 3.x, in this case the string would be "hello"

print ("hello" * 3)

Answer 4

 st=input("Enter a string") n=input("No of times to repeat:") print(st * int(n)) 

Answer 5

Adding to all the correct answers above, in case our line is not static, we can use this as well:

 print(("%s" % "$")*3)
