#**********************************************************************
# Task:  Write a function called Bang that takes in one parameter
# called N (int), returns a string containing that many exclamation
# points.
# Bang(4)   the result will be "!!!!"
# Bang(2)   the result will be "!!"
# Bang(0)   the result will be ""
#**********************************************************************

#----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Solution #1: Start with an empty string, and keep concatenating
# "!" characters until the string length is N.  If N==0 then the
# string returned will be empty.
#----------------------------------------------------------------------

def Bang1 (N):
    S = ""
    while len(S) < N: S = S + "!"
    return S

#----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Solution #2: Start with an empty string, and then use a counter-loop
# to add exactly the right number of "!" characters to the string.
# As before, if N==0 then string returned will be empty.

def Bang2 (N):
    S = ""
    Counter = 1
    while Counter <= N:
        S = S + "!"
        Counter = Counter + 1
    return S
