title: Create string with specified number of characters
body: <p>Is there a way to create a string of say 256 characters at initialization with c++?</p>
  
  <p>Part of my assignment requires me to "1. Create a string of 256 characters. Use repetitions of your first name."</p>
  
  <p>I'm not quite sure of how to do this other than using a loop but I feel like there is an easier way.</p>
