Thread: quick question (adding characters)

Quick question:

How do you add more characters onto a string?

eg,

I want to convert an int number into a number of chars equal to that int number:

number = 3 converts to '$$$'
number = 5 converts to '$$$$$'
number = 0 converts to ''

I also want all the $'s to be stored in a variable rather than print them all out one by one.

So I have my code set up into a loop with it ending at number and in every repitition it adds another $ to the result. I just don't know the syntax to adding charcaters. Thanks

try

Code:

printf("%s\n", your_string);

Or, if you are just needing to output the string, and nothing else, consider the puts() function:

Code:

puts(your_string);
