Math in Strings

You've examined that the + operator can be applied to statements that are related to one data type: concatenate strings, add some numbers, etc. But please look at this simple example where input and output are pretty understandable for you:

1
print(12 * 4)
copy

However, multiplication works not only with equal data types, but with various ones too. This means that we can multiply your string by a number. For instance, if we multiply it by 2, the string will be printed twice. Take a look at the following example:

1
print('12' * 4)
copy

Note

We can multiply a string only by an integer number.
