Repeating a String for Specific Number of Times in Golang

In Go language, strings are different from other languages like Java, C++, Python, etc. It is a sequence of variable-width characters where each and every character is represented by one or more bytes using UTF-8 Encoding. 

You are allowed to repeat a string of for a specific number of times with the help of the Repeat() Function. This method returns a new string which contains a repeated string and it is defined under the strings package. So, you have to import strings package in your program for accessing Repeat function. 

Syntax:

func Repeat(str string, count int) string

Here, str represents the string that you want to repeat and the count value represents how many times you want to repeat str string. 

Example 1: 

Output:

Result 1: Welcome to GeeksforGeeks !..Welcome to GeeksforGeeks !..Welcome to GeeksforGeeks !..Welcome to GeeksforGeeks !.. Result 2: This is the tutorial of GoLanguage..Language..

Note: This method will panics if the value of the count is negative or the result of (len(str) * count) overflows. 

Example 2: 

Output:

panic: strings: negative Repeat count goroutine 1 [running]: strings.Repeat(0x104b22, 0xa, 0xfffffffe, 0x0, 0x450000, 0x70) /usr/local/go/src/strings/strings.go:533 +0x540 main.main() /tmp/sandbox829702598/prog.go:25 +0x80

Example 3: Using for loop

Result 1: Welcome to GeeksforGeeks !..Welcome to GeeksforGeeks !..Welcome to GeeksforGeeks !..
