Question about the task

StringHelper class

Java Syntax, Level 6, Lesson 8

Under discussion

i have surrendered; some one help me cross this StringHelper bridge... thanks

Make the StringHelper class, which will have 2 static methods:
String multiply(String s, int count) - returns a string that has been repeated count times.
String multiply(String s) - returns a string that has been repeated 5 times.

For example:
Amigo -> AmigoAmigoAmigoAmigoAmigo

Requirements:

The program must not read data from the keyboard.
The StringHelper class's methods must return a string.
The StringHelper class's methods must be static.
The StringHelper class's methods must be public.
The multiply(String s, int count) method must return a string that has been repeated count times.
The multiply(String s) method must return a string that has been repeated 5 times.

package com.codegym.task.task06.task0611; /* StringHelper class */ public class StringHelper { public static String multiply(String s) { String result = "Puppy"; //write your code here return multiply(result,5); } public static String multiply(String s, int count) { String result = "Dog"; //write your code here return result; } public static void main(String[] args) { } }

public class StringHelper { public static String multiply(String s) { String result = ""; for(int i = 0;i < 5;i++) result += s; return result; } public static String multiply(String s, int count) { String result = ""; for(int i = 0;i < count;i++) result += s; return result; } public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println(multiply("amigo")); System.out.println(multiply("amigo",3)); } }

get rid of the strings you assigned and use a for() loop in each method to increase the input string (s) each time the loop repeats...i.e. the defined 5 times and count (times). each time saving the new result.

there is no need of assigning "Dog" and "Puppy" to the variable "result". It should hold the parameter "s" which is the input defined by the user. in multiply (string, int), use a loop to append "s" to the variable "result" count times. hope this hint is enough to get you going
