How to pad with n characters in Python

Question

I should define a function pad_with_n_chars(s, n, c) that takes a string \'s\', an integer \'n\', and a character \'c\' and returns a string consisting of \'s\'

Answer 1

It looks like you're only looking for pointers, not a complete solution. So here's one:

You can multiply strings in python:

>>> "A" * 4
'AAAA'

Additionally I would use better names, instead of s I'd use text, which is much clearer. Even if your current professor (I suppose you're learning Python in university.) uses such horrible abbreviations.
