Question about the task

StringHelper class

Java Syntax, Level 6, Lesson 8

Resolved

Any hints?

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

solution

you have to " return " the string in which the given string has been multiplied given times. In this code you are simply printing the string given number of times but you have to return this string not print it. eg: if string has ABCD and count 3, then you have to return a string result = ABCDABCDABCD. as shown in the example for the question.
