Thread: printStrings

I'm having a hard time with this problem, this is what I have, but I can not use two integers, I have to use one integer and a string...

This is the question:

Write a method called printStrings that accepts a String and a number of repetitions as parameters and prints that String the given number of times. For example, the call:

printStrings("abc", 5);

will print the following output:

abcabcabcabcabc

This is what I attempted:

public class printStringsproject {
public static void printStrings(int abc, int number) {
for (int i = 1; i <= number; i++) {
System.out.print("abc");
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
printStrings(1, 5);
}
}

You need to accept a String as the first parameter in your method
You have the right idea, but you want something like this

public static void printStrings(String abc, int number) {
for (int i = 1; i <= number; i++) {
System.out.print(abc);
}
 
public static void main(String[] args) {
printStrings("Whatever You want to print 5 times goes here", 5);
}

Wow thank you so much for leading me to the right direction....
