How to print a character or string in multiple times in c++

To do what you want you can do this:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
   int x;
   char chars = '*';
   cin >> x;

   for (int i=1; i<=x; i++){
       cout << chars;
  }

    cout << "\n\n";
    system("pause");
    return 0;
}

What is a pythonic way to print a string multiple times on one line, separated by spaces?

Put the string in a list

print(' '.join(['hello']*3))

'hello hello hello'

Is there an easy way to return a string repeated X number of times?

If you only intend to repeat the same character you can use the string constructor that accepts a char and the number of times to repeat it new String(char c, int count).

For example, to repeat a dash five times:

string result = new String('-', 5);
Output: -----

Print character multiple times

You can print in the same line with System.out.print(" _"); so you can use a loop. print instead of println does not append a new line character.

for (int i=0; i<5; i++){
    System.out.print(" _");
}

Will print: _ _ _ _ _.

Print elements of string multiple times based on position

You can enumerate iterables (lists, strings, ranges, dictkeys, ...) - it provides the index and a value:

text = "abcdef"
for idx,c in enumerate(text):        
    print(idx,c)

Output:

(0, 'a')
(1, 'b')
(2, 'c')
(3, 'd')
(4, 'e')
(5, 'f')

You can use that to print something multiple times. The print command takes 2 optional parameters :

print("Bla","blubb", sep=" --->", end=" Kawumm\n")

Output:

Bla --->blubb Kawumm

that specify what is printed between outputs and on the end of output - you can specify an end="" - so you can continue printing on the same line.

Doku:

• Print
• Enumerate

Edit:

user_string = input() 

def accum(s):
    t = []  # list to store stuff into
    for count, letter in enumerate(s): 
        total = letter.upper() + letter * (count) # 1st as Upper, rest as is
        t.append(total)  # add to list
    print(*t, sep="-")   # the * "unpacks" the list into its parts

accum(user_string)

Unpacking:

print( [1,2,3,4,5], sep=" +++ ")  # its just 1 value to print, no sep needed
print(*[1,2,3,4,5], sep=" +++ ")  # 5 values to print, sep needed 

Output:

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5] 
1 +++ 2 +++ 3 +++ 4 +++ 5

How to print a string multiple times referencing it only once?

On Windows there is a _printf_p() function, which implements the positional parameter.
So instead

printf("col1%1$scol2%1$scol3%1$scol4\n", csv_delimiter);

you should be able to use

_printf_p("col1%1$scol2%1$scol3%1$scol4\n", csv_delimiter);

See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bt7tawza.aspx for more info.

EDIT:

for Linux/Windows cross compiling use something like this:

#if defined (__WIN32__)
  _printf_p(...);
#elif defined (__linux__)
  printf(...);
#endif
