How to concatenate a user specified number of the same list in python

Question

i'm trying to concatenate a list with itself, but it needs to be a specific number of times

list1=[1,2,3,4]
list2=(list1+list1+list1)
print(list2)
#output would be [1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4]

but i want the list to be concatenated with itself a user specified number of times, not just the example of 3

You know that you need to take input from the user, so what's stopping you? Do you know how to convert a string to an int? Do you know how to multiply a list? — wjandrea, Feb 11 '20 at 20:05

1

list1=[1,2,3,4]
mult = 5
list2 = list1 * mult

Resulting list2:

[1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4]
