printf function
<p>I want to create an output as follows using the printf function:</p>

<pre><code>***********************************************************************************
</code></pre>

<p>Here is my code for this line: </p>

<pre><code>printf("%'*c &lt;br&gt;\n",42); 
</code></pre>

<p>where 42 is the specified ASCII code for *.  this command only generates one * not 100 of *.</p>

<p>Any suggestions?</p>
