How to print a string multiple times?

So I take it if the user enters 2, you want the output to be something like:

!!
!!
!!
!!

Correct?

To get that, you would need something like:

rows = 4
times_to_repeat = int(raw_input("How many times to repeat per row? ")

for i in range(rows):
    print "!" * times_to_repeat

That would result in:

How many times to repeat per row?
>> 4
!!!!
!!!!
!!!!
!!!!

I have not tested this, but it should run error free.

If you want to print something = '@' 2 times in a line, you can write this:

print(something * 2)

If you want to print 4 lines of something, you can use a for loop:

for i in range(4):
     print(something)

It amazes me that this simple answer did not occur in the previous answers.

In my viewpoint, the easiest way to print a string on multiple lines, is the following :

print("Random String \n" * 100), where 100 stands for the number of lines to be printed.

for i in range(3):
    print "Your text here"

for i in range(3):
    print("Your text here")
