Very useful and handy String constructor, String(Char, Int32)

String Constructor - strings of repeated charachterWe all work with string values in our daily programming life. Sometimes we might require a string variable to be initialized with strings of a repeated character.

Now let us come to the point.

.NET Framework String class already have a parameterized constructor to do the same.

String Constructor (Char, Int32)

C# Syntax:

[code language=”csharp”]

public String(
char c,
int count
)

[/code]

MSDN: “Initializes a new instance of the String class to the value indicated by a specified Unicode character repeated a specified number of times.”

See the sample usage given below,

[code language=”csharp” highlight=”7″]
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int size = 10;

string sample = new String(‘-‘, size);

Console.WriteLine(sample);

Console.ReadKey();

//Outputs : ———-
}
}[/code]

This is the most straightforward and efficient way to initialize a string variable with strings of repeated characters.
