Android Char Repeat repeat(char ch, int repeat)

Description

<p>Returns padding using the specified delimiter repeated to a given length.</p> <pre> StringUtils.repeat(0, 'e') = "" StringUtils.repeat(3, 'e') = "eee" StringUtils.repeat(-2, 'e') = "" </pre> <p>Note: this method doesn't not support padding with <a href="http://www.unicode.org/glossary/#supplementary_character">Unicode Supplementary Characters</a> as they require a pair of char s to be represented.

Parameter

Parameter	Description
ch	character to repeat
repeat	number of times to repeat char, negative treated as zero

Return

String with repeated character
