char[] fill = new char[9];

// Fill the buffer with all '0's

Arrays.fill(fill, '0');

// Create string using the buffer

String zeroes = new String(fill);

   Ideally you want a prototype something like:

   String s = String.fill (character)

   I suppose you can take the above three lines and put it into a utility class method.

   Correction:

   String s = String.fill (count, character)
