Usage at a Glance

• While number can be zero (in which case, the function returns the empty string), a runtime error occurs if number is negative.

• One of the custom constructors for the String data type can also be used to create a string of spaces. The following statement creates a new string with 10 spaces.

       Dim blankString As New String(" "c, 10)
