How return x character of a string WITHOUT *

Question

my question , Define a function generate_n_chars() that takes an integer n and a character c and returns a string, n characters long, consisting only of c:s. For example, generate_n_chars(5,"x") should return the string "xxxxx". (Python is unusual in that you can actually write an expression 5 * "x" that will evaluate to "xxxxx". For the sake of the exercise you should ignore that the problem can be solved in this manner.) . My code:

def generate_n_chars(c, n):
      d = ""
      c = raw_input("Give a character: ")
      n = raw_input("Give a word: ")
      for i in n:
          if i not in c:
             d += i
      return d    

print ("You word have " + str(generate_n_chars('c', 'n') + " character"))

so, when I write hallo a come only a x , and I will five , because hallo have five words.I will to come xxxxx but WITHOUT '5 * x' .Very Thanks for yours help!

The question is asking you to create a function(def) named generate_n_chars() that takes an integer(int) value,n and character(char) value,c as parameters. Here, c is any character input by user,lets say user inputs x and n is how many times the character(c) should be printed so lets say user wants it to print 5 times and therefore inputs 5. Then the result would be xxxxx. 5 x's.

def generate_n_chars(n, c):
        result = ""
        for i in range(n):
            result += c
        return result

    inputChar = input("Enter the character:")
    inputNum = int(input("Enter the number of times " + str(inputChar) + " to be printed:"))
    print("Result: " + str(generate_n_chars(inputNum, inputChar)))

Output:

Enter the character:x
Enter the number of times x to be printed:5
Result: xxxxx
