Display string multiple times

Question

I want to print a character or string like \'-\' n number of times.

Can I do it without using a loop?.. Is there a function like

print(\'-\',3)


        

Answer 1

Python 2.x:

print '-' * 3

Python 3.x:

print('-' * 3)

Answer 2

The accepted answer is short and sweet, but here is an alternate syntax allowing to provide a separator in Python 3.x.

print(*3*('-',), sep='_')
