Python: n (non-negative integer) copies of the first 2 characters of a given string

Python Basic: Exercise-23 with Solution

Write a Python program to get the n (non-negative integer) copies of the first 2 characters of a given string. Return the n copies of the whole string if the length is less than 2.

Sample Solution:-

def substring_copy(str, n):

  flen = 2

  if flen > len(str):

    flen = len(str)

  substr = str[:flen]

  

  result = ""

  for i in range(n):

    result = result + substr

  return result

print(substring_copy('avbcdef', 4))

print(substring_copy('ap', 3));

print(substring_copy('p', 5));
