How do I print out a certain number of letters, based on what the user inputs?

Question

Something like this

Underscores = int(input("Enter a number: "))
print("^" + Underscores + "^")

That's what I tried to do but it's not working, you might understand what I'm trying to do from that code. Basically, the user inputs how many "" They want in a "^^" emoji, such as if the input is 4, it prints out "^____^". If the input is 10, it prints out "^__________^" etc, thanks!

I've only tried this code so far, and looking through other sources online

You are close. You can multiply strings in python so:

'_' * 4

gives you:

'____'

With that you only need a slight change to your code:

n = int(input("Enter a number: "))
print("^" + '_' * n  + "^")

# or maybe cleaner:
print("^{}^".format("_" * n))

Didn't know you can use {} like that, thanks! – OpBanana Jul 31 '19 at 23:56
@OpBanana that and more. Python has lots of [string functionality](https://docs.python.org/3/library/string.html#format-string-syntax) – Mark Jul 31 '19 at 23:57
