Answer 2

Well, std::string has 9 constructors ( C++11 )
1 of them is a fill constructor which takes 2 arguments.
1: the size
2: the character

So std::string( 5, 64 ) then creates a string object of size 5, filled with @'s
std::string( 5, 64 ) = "@@@@@"
std::string( 7, '.' ) = "......."

int a = 6;
char b = '&';
std::string( a, b ) = "&&&&&&"

Answer 3

You can use the std::string's fill constructor to 'multiply'.
std::string( amount to fill, char );

std::cout << std::string( 5, 64 );

Answer 4

Dennis, can you explain that a little more?

Answer 5

you need to create a function for that.
