Is it possible to use a variable and a string within the same system.out.print for a calculation?

int b1 = 0;      // This is supposed to be a running total

System.out.println("*" * (b1));

I know this is wrong but I was wonderingwhether there was a way to do such calculation`

I am trying to multiply the * with a variable (b1) so that it prints * depending on the variable. As the variable increases the amount of * should increase.

No. That's what loops are for. – Eran Dec 01 '16 at 11:10
No, there is no `*` operator in Java to print a string a repeated number of times. You have to implement this yourself with a loop. – Jesper Dec 01 '16 at 11:11
AFAIK `java` doesn't have those fancy stuff like other dynamic languages like `ruby` etc. – Mritunjay Dec 01 '16 at 11:12
