About strings

Question

how multiplication works in between two strings.

Answer 1

The strings can't be multiplicated each other. But you can repeat a string with * (integer)

Answer 2

If the strings represent numbers, you can convert them to numbers, multiply the numbers and if needed, convert the result back to string

Answer 3

Alain, you're wrong. Your example doesn't work, because you multiply None that print returns by 10 and it gives an error :

>>> print ("@") * 10
@
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#4>", line 1, in <module>
print ("@") * 10
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for *: 'NoneType' and 'int'

Here is the correct example:

print('coding...'*5)
coding...coding...coding...coding...coding...

Answer 4

For Sree Latha.

In this case, "spam" and "eggs" are considered variables. print(spam*eggs)=4*5=20

Answer 5

spam=2
eggs=3
del spam
spam=4
eggs=5
print(spam*eggs)
