STRING OF REPEATING CHARACTERS

[ARCITS]

In VB you can write:
string("=",20) to generate the string "===================="
Is there an equivalent in C++?

 

[Leibnitz]

#include<iostream.h>
void String( char *caracter, int number )
{
for( int i = 0; i < number; i++ )
cout<<caracter;
}
void main()
{
String( &quot;=&quot; , 20 );
}

Or maybe this will do:

#include<iostream.h>
#define _MAXSTRING_ 100
char* string;
void String( char character, int number )
{
string = new char[_MAXSTRING_];
for( int i = 0; i < number; i++ )
string = character;
string = '\0';
}
void main()
{
String( '=' , 20 );
cout<<string;
delete string;
}

there is a much easier way

first you need to remember to have it have an extra character for the null terminator and just do

char buffer[21];
memset(buffer,'=',20);
buffer[20]=0;
