_{Project 1 — Step 13 of 16}

⭐ Step 13 — Multiply strings

➡️ Print one 🔥 for every point on the dice.

In Python you can multiply a word (or an emoji) by a number and it repeats that many times! '🔥' * 4 becomes '🔥🔥🔥🔥'.

✏️ What to type

Replace the inside of roll_dice() with two lines:

    roll = randint(1, 6)
    print(f'You rolled a {roll} {fire * roll}')

The first line saves the random number into a box called roll. The second line prints the number AND that many fire emojis.

# imports
from datetime import datetime
from random import randint

# variables
world = '🌍🌎🌏'
python = 'Python 🐍'
fire = '🔥'

# Function definitions
def roll_dice():
    print(f'You rolled a {randint(1, 6)}')

# Put code to run under here
print(f'Hello {world}')
print(f'Welcome to {python}')
print(f'{python} is good at maths!')
print(f'{111111111 * 111111111}')
print(f'The date and time is {datetime.now()}')
roll_dice()

Tap ▶ Run. You should see something like:

You rolled a 4 🔥🔥🔥🔥

The number of fires matches the dice roll. 🔥

💡 If you get a red error

Make sure both lines inside the function are pushed in by 4 spaces (use Tab).
