...i used this code: string MFUNC::strrepeat (string str, int repeat) { //repeats a single string number of times string strrepeated; int rep = 0; while (rep < Number) { strrepeated = strrepeated + Character; rep = rep + 1; } return strrepeated; } This works perfectly fine, but i think it''s a bit too slow. I can actually see string sliding when i use cout << Mfunc.strrepeat("X",80). Now i''m asking if there''s any other function in any library that does the same, but little faster? Thanks for answers.

The sliding effect is in cout as the string is already returned from the function before it is send to cout. A long string takes a long time to output...

To make the function a bit faster you could use the append member function and preallocating the string using the reserve member function.
