Say I have:

array[i]
// and array[4] was the value of 5
// I think something like this works in C++ array[4]*array[4] would give me 25

Is there someway to do the same with strings or is a loop in the only way in C++, because I remember in Python you could do something similar to:

"string"*4
// would give you "stringstringstringstring"

So you want to do something like "foo" * 4 in c++? And expect what output? I am not clear on what you are trying to accomplish – RedAgito May 26 '15 at 00:24
No, C++ doesn't have anything like Python's string multiplier. – Barmar May 26 '15 at 00:25
