In Python, creating multiple copies of a string can be done in a simple way using multiplication operator. In this article, we will focus on how to achieve this efficiently.

Using multiplication operator (*)

This method is the easiest way to repeat a string multiple times in Python. It directly gives us the repeated string with no extra steps.

Example:

Python 
# original string a = "Geeks"  # Multiply the string and store # it in a new string b = a*3 print(b)

Output
GeeksGeeksGeeks

Multiplication Operator

The multiplication operator (*) in Python is used to multiply numbers. When used with a string and an integer, it creates a new string that is a repetition of the original string.

Repeating Strings:

Repeating a string involves creating a new string that consists of the original string repeated multiple times.

Syntax:

new_string = original_string * n

  • original_string: The string we want to repeat.
  • n: The number of times we want to repeat the string.

Example: Repeating Lists

Similarly, lists can be repeated.

Python 
li = [1, 2, 3] res = li * 2 print(res)

Output
[1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3]
