Challenge Seed

function repeatStringNumTimes(str, num) {
  // repeat after me
  return str;
}

repeatStringNumTimes("abc", 3);

Solution

function repeatStringNumTimes(str, num) {
  if (num < 0) return ";
  return num === 1 ? str : str + repeatStringNumTimes(str, num-1);
}

repeatStringNumTimes("abc", 3);
