How can integer multiply with string in below code
a=8
b=4
c=a/b
d=str(c)
print(2*d)
Output is 2.02.0
How is that possible?

Answer 1

That's just how python works, if you multiply a string by a number it will print the string that many times. What were you expecting or trying to have happen?

Answer 2

I thought like python doesn't add string and no. Same it won't multiply string and int and give a ERROR

Answer 3

"Hi" * 3 = "Hi" + "Hi" + "Hi" = "HiHiHi"
