Huh?
The key word in my sentence was 'operator'. A loop is not an operator.
Ergo my statement is true. It was a sweeping specificization. ;-)
Perhaps I should have said "repetition operator".
IAC, it is a built-in "concatenate n times" operator.
In Perl:
h = "0" x 512;
In ProTERM's DIRC:
h = STR_REPEAT("0",512); //well, there it's a function; still not a loop
And in some other language it is REPT() but I forget which one. (FoxPro?)
I have not done any speed tests, but I would bet that a loop would be
much slower (because loops have overhead).
