Question

I am writing a program that reads three lines of input. The first line will be a word, then a number of characters to repeat, then a number of repeats. But unfortunately I am unable to do it can any one guide me by looking at my code. Thanks

word = raw_input("Enter the word: ")
length = int(raw_input("Enter the repeat length: "))
count = int(raw_input("Enter the repeat count: "))
print word.repeat() * count
I want this sort of output:
Enter the word: banana
Enter the repeat length: 2
Enter the repeat count: 3
banananana

I’m afraid you’re doing something wrong.
I suppose you got the following error:

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'repeat'

Since there is no repeat() method for str in Python.

And I guess you may want this:

# gives the first `length` characters in `string` to repeat for `count` times
word[:length] * count 

EDITED:

I see.. Your edit seems to say you want to repeat the last length of word..

Then try word + word[-length:] * (count - 1)
