我正在寻找一个简单的公共方法或操作符，允许我重复一些字符串n次。我知道我可以使用for循环来写这个，但我希望在必要时避免for循环，并且应该在某个地方存在一个简单的直接方法。
String str = "abc";
String repeated = str.repeat(3);
repeated.equals("abcabcabc");

当它们不是完全必要的时候，我尽量避免使用for循环，因为:
They add to the number of lines of code even if they are tucked away in another function.
Someone reading my code has to figure out what I am doing in that for loop. Even if it is commented and has meaningful variables names, they still have to make sure it is not doing anything "clever".
Programmers love to put clever things in for loops, even if I write it to "only do what it is intended to do", that does not preclude someone coming along and adding some additional clever "fix".
They are very often easy to get wrong. For loops involving indexes tend to generate off by one bugs.
For loops often reuse the same variables, increasing the chance of really hard to find scoping bugs.
For loops increase the number of places a bug hunter has to look.
基于fortran的答案，这是一个使用StringBuilder的递归版本:
public static void repeat(StringBuilder stringBuilder, String s, int times) {
if (times > 0) {
repeat(stringBuilder.append(s), s, times - 1);
}
}
public static String repeat(String s, int times) {
StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder(s.length() * times);
repeat(stringBuilder, s, times);
return stringBuilder.toString();
}
这是最新的Stringutils.java
public static String repeat(String str, int repeat) {
// Performance tuned for 2.0 (JDK1.4)
if (str == null) {
return null;
}
if (repeat <= 0) {
return EMPTY;
}
int inputLength = str.length();
if (repeat == 1 || inputLength == 0) {
return str;
}
if (inputLength == 1 && repeat <= PAD_LIMIT) {
return repeat(str.charAt(0), repeat);
}
int outputLength = inputLength * repeat;
switch (inputLength) {
case 1 :
return repeat(str.charAt(0), repeat);
case 2 :
char ch0 = str.charAt(0);
char ch1 = str.charAt(1);
char[] output2 = new char[outputLength];
for (int i = repeat * 2 - 2; i >= 0; i--, i--) {
output2[i] = ch0;
output2[i + 1] = ch1;
}
return new String(output2);
default :
StringBuilder buf = new StringBuilder(outputLength);
for (int i = 0; i < repeat; i++) {
buf.append(str);
}
return buf.toString();
}
}
它甚至不需要这么大，可以做成这样，可以复制和粘贴
到项目中的实用程序类中。
public static String repeat(String str, int num) {
int len = num * str.length();
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(len);
for (int i = 0; i < times; i++) {
sb.append(str);
}
return sb.toString();
}
所以e5，我认为最好的方法是简单地使用上面提到的代码，或者这里的任何答案。但是如果它是一个小项目，Commons lang就太大了
