Multiplying by 0 should return an empty string?

: oCzpPm

I have a doubt, any number multiplied by zero is zero right? So why if I multiply the (n) word by zero should it return the word repeated once, like in this test:

modifyMultiply ("This is a string",3,5)

An Example without a solution is not an example.

Ruby Translation

JS Node 18. (mocha + chai) should be enabled

Description should be language-agnostic

One of the random tests had num = 0. My code would return an empty string in this case, but the expected output was just printing the word once. Is this expected behavior? I don't see it specified anywhere in the instructions or example tests.

If num == 0 random test expect get 1 copy of word, as if num was 1. Kate description say nothing about it

If that's what it takes for you, then sure :)

the instructions written by a woman in leather holding a whip? wtf

Fixed. Thank you.

"1. You are to write a function that takes a string as it's first paramter. This string will be a string of words."

Should be "parameter" instead of "paramter".

"3. Once you have the located string you are finally going to multiply by it the third provided paramater, which will also be an interger. You are additionally required to add a hyphen in between each word."

Should be "parameter" instead of "paramater".
Should be "integer" instead of "interger".

"Since the 3rd word is 'string'(starting from 0 remember) and the third paramater indicates that it should be repeated 5 times."

Should be "parameter" instead of "paramater".

Thanks!
