: I took it to mean:
:* a string is already defined (say, the contents of a variable)
:* repeat that string some number of times (or make a number of copies)
:* optionally show the result

:: I also interpreted that it is the generation of a string (that is a repetition of the input string some specified number of times) that is the goal. Printing the string in a loop would ''not'' be a correct solution, except for languages where doing output is effectively the same as producing an intermediate value (a small minority of languages). –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 10:30, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
