repeatQuote

Language/Type: Java method basics println
Author: Marty Stepp (on 2011/01/05)

Write a method named repeatQuote that accepts a String s and an integer n as parameters and outputs the string s repeated n times, separated by colons, with backslashes around the overall line of output. For example, the call: 

repeatQuote("hello", 4)

should produce the following console output: 

\hello:hello:hello:hello\

The number n of times to repeat can be any integer. If it is less than or equal to 0, print nothing between the backslashes. The calls: 

repeatQuote("goodbye", 1);
repeatQuote("booyah", 0);

should produce the following console output: 

\goodbye\
