How can I multiple Strings with Integers in Javascript as in python, if we cant what's the reason and is there any other way to do so? [duplicate]

Question

#Python Code
characters = "Hello World!"
print(characters * 4)  #it Will Print Hello World! 4 times

// Javascript Code
characters = "Hello World!"
console.log(characters * 4)

I don't know the reasoning why Python would allow this, but I'm not familiar with much of the philosophy of Python. In JavaScript this "doesn't work" simply because performing math on text makes no sense. — David

@David please, let's not start discuss JavaScript and "makes sense" :) Anyway, you can't argue that string * 4 does not work in JS because "performing math on text makes no sense" while JS allows string + 4 (which Python does not allow, BTW). It just that * is not defined in JS for string and integer operands, not that "it makes no sense" — DeepSpace

In javascript you can use the inbuilt property 'repeat' of a string

characters = "Hello World!";
console.log(characters.repeat(4));

You can use repeat().

const chorus = 'Hello World! ';
console.log(`${chorus.repeat(4)}`);

Edit: Use the other person's reply instead of mine, it's way simpler
