Syntax:
stringOfChars$ = string$(numChars,{char$|asciiValue%})
container$$ = string$$(numChars,{char$|asciiValue%})
Description:
This function returns a string or a container consisting of numChars
repetitions of a single character. If you specify a string (char$
) in the second parameter, the first character of char$
is repeated. If you specify a number (asciiValue%
) in the second parameter, string$
repeats the character whose ASCII value is asciiValue%
. numChars
must be in the range 0 through 255; if numChars
equals zero, string$
returns an empty (zero-length) string.
Example:
print string$(12, "log")
print string$(9, 70)
program output:
LLLLLLLLLLLL
FFFFFFFFF
