The **`str_repeat` method** returns a new string whose value is the concatenation of the argument string repeated `n` times, where `n` is passed as an argument.

# 
#  Syntax

```
str_repeat(string $string, int $n): string
```

##
## Arguments and return type

**`string`**: The string to be repeated.

**`n`**: An integer value representing the number of times the string needs to be repeated. `n` should be a positive value. If we pass `0`, then an empty string will return.

<?php 
  echo "loading". str_repeat(".", 10);
?>

## 
### Explanation 1

In the code above, we call the `str_repeat` method with `.` as the value for the #key# first argument: The first argument denotes the string to be repeated. #key# and `10` as the value for the #key# second argument: The second argument denotes the number of times the string is to be repeated #key#. This will return a string in which `.` is repeated `10` times.

<?php 
  echo str_repeat("^", 5);
  echo("\n");

  echo str_repeat("---", 0); // empty string will be returned
  echo("\n");

  echo str_repeat("$$$", 1);
  echo("\n");

  echo str_repeat("Test ", 3);

  // echo str_repeat("Test ", -1); // n < 0 -> this will throw warning
?>
