Multiplying a string by an int in C++

They can't be multipled but I think you can write your own function to do this, something like -

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

std::string operator*(std::string s, size_t count)
{
    std::string ret;
    for(size_t i = 0; i < count; ++i)
    {
        ret = ret + s;
    }
    return ret;
}


int main()
{
    std::string data = "+";
    std::cout << data * 10 << "\n";
}

It's probably not the best idea though, it will be very confusing to anyone looking at the code and not expecting this,
