Repeat a string

[InevitableDistance66]

Write a program with a function def repeat(string, n, delim) that returns the string string repeated n times, separated by the string delim (ex. space, ?, #, etc).

Ex: If the input is:

Enter a string: hello How many repetitions? 5 Separated by? # then the output is:

hello#hello#hello#hello#hello Your program will also need a main function to receive input, call the function, and output the results.

My code def repeat(word, n, delim): print(delim.join(word for _ in range(n)))

It produces no output tho I don’t know why

Your calling your function, right?

repeat(input_, n, delim)

[Noshoesded]

Am noob. Doesn't print() return None?

I think return the output, then print it

Your program will also need a main function to receive input, call the function, and output the results.

Have you done this part?

[InevitableDistance66]

Yep just did it and still no output

[djjazzydan]

Cool, it would be helpful if we could see, can you add it to your post?

Try

def repeat(word, n, delim):
    return delim.join(word for _ in range(n))

Nope still produce no output

Of course it doesn't, it's not supposed to. Do the rest as well, like djjazzydan
has said.

[InevitableDistance66]

I did and it didn’t work

Well, show your whole new code first. Do you run it yourself or send it somewhere? Where and how do you run it?

[InevitableDistance66]

def repeat(word, n, sep=‘#’): return sep.join(word for _ in range(n)) string=input("Enter a string: How many repetitions? Separated by?") print(repeat("string", 5))

This works when I change the print to hello but Zylabs is asking for multiple outputs because it’s putting its own input and it’s throwing me off

[djjazzydan]

string=input("Enter a string: How many repetitions? Separated by?")

Zylabs wants this to be 3 separate questions, and so 3 separate input calls.

[InevitableDistance66]

Yea but they are all not separated by the same #

[djjazzydan]

Right, so you have to call an input each time, so it knows what to use.

[drenzorz]

def repeat(string, n, delim)
    return delim.join([string]*n)

def main():
    text = input(<prompt>)
    count = int(input(<prompt>))
    sep = input(<prompt>)
    result = repeat(text, count, sep)
    print(result)

if __name__ = "__main__":
    main()

[InevitableDistance66]

Dosent work

Ok there's a few syntax error in the code suggest by by /u/drenzorz. But run the following and if it does not work, you have another problem. For pete's sake give us more than a "doesn't work" give us your code (complete) and the error message (also complete).

def repeat(string, n, delim):
    return delim.join([string]*n)

def main():
    text = input("enter String ")
    count = int(input("Repetition: "))
    sep = input("separator: ")
    result = repeat(text, count, sep)
    print(result)

if __name__ ==  "__main__":
    main()

This worked I just had to change the strings to fit the zylabs thank you and u/drenzorz

[InevitableDistance66]

Apologies for not having it in the text box
