Replicating characters to form a string

Question

Hello,
I'm trying to write a method which creates a string consisting of n characters.
Something like:
replicate(Char, n);
where Char is a character and n is the number of times thischaracter is replicated in the string.
e.g.
replicate("U",10);
would produce;
"UUUUUUUUUU"
Any ideas?
John

public String replicate(char character, int
stringLength){
char[] chars = new char[stringLength];
Arrays.fill(chars, character);
return new String(chars);
}I think because he's new to java, I would start him up with a loop so he doesn't get too confused...
