如果您关心的是速度，那么应该尽可能少地使用内存复制。因此，它需要处理字符数组。

public static String repeatString(String what, int howmany) {
    char[] pattern = what.toCharArray();
    char[] res = new char[howmany * pattern.length];
    int length = pattern.length;
    for (int i = 0; i < howmany; i++)
        System.arraycopy(pattern, 0, res, i * length, length);
    return new String(res);
}

为了测试速度，使用StirngBuilder的一个类似的优化方法如下:

public static String repeatStringSB(String what, int howmany) {
    StringBuilder out = new StringBuilder(what.length() * howmany);
    for (int i = 0; i < howmany; i++)
        out.append(what);
    return out.toString();
}

以及测试它的代码:

public static void main(String... args) {
    String res;
    long time;

    for (int j = 0; j < 1000; j++) {
        res = repeatString("123", 100000);
        res = repeatStringSB("123", 100000);
    }

    time = System.nanoTime();
    res = repeatString("123", 1000000);
    time = System.nanoTime() - time;
    System.out.println("elapsed repeatString: " + time);

    time = System.nanoTime();
    res = repeatStringSB("123", 1000000);
    time = System.nanoTime() - time;
    System.out.println("elapsed repeatStringSB: " + time);

}

下面是我的系统的运行结果:

elapsed repeatString: 6006571
elapsed repeatStringSB: 9064937

注意，for循环测试是为了引入JIT并获得最佳结果。

repeated = str + str + str;

有时候简单是最好的。每个阅读代码的人都可以看到发生了什么。

编译器会在幕后用StringBuilder为你做一些奇特的事情。

基于fortran的答案，这是一个使用StringBuilder的递归版本:

public static void repeat(StringBuilder stringBuilder, String s, int times) {
    if (times > 0) {
        repeat(stringBuilder.append(s), s, times - 1);
    }
}

public static String repeat(String s, int times) {
    StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder(s.length() * times);
    repeat(stringBuilder, s, times);
    return stringBuilder.toString();
}

OOP的解决方案

几乎每个答案都提出了一个静态函数作为解决方案，但考虑到面向对象(为了可重用性和清晰度)，我通过CharSequence-Interface(这也开放了可变charsequence -类的可用性)通过委托提出了一个解决方案。

下面的类可以使用或不使用Separator-String/CharSequence，并且每次调用“toString()”都会构建最终的重复String。 输入/分隔符不仅限于string类，而且可以是实现CharSequence的每个类(例如StringBuilder, StringBuffer等)!

源代码:

/**
 * Helper-Class for Repeating Strings and other CharSequence-Implementations
 * @author Maciej Schuttkowski
 */
public class RepeatingCharSequence implements CharSequence {
    final int count;
    CharSequence internalCharSeq = "";
    CharSequence separator = "";
    /**
     * CONSTRUCTOR - RepeatingCharSequence
     * @param input CharSequence to repeat
     * @param count Repeat-Count
     */
    public RepeatingCharSequence(CharSequence input, int count) {
        if(count < 0)
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Can not repeat String \""+input+"\" less than 0 times! count="+count);
        if(count > 0)
            internalCharSeq = input;
        this.count = count;
    }
    /**
     * CONSTRUCTOR - Strings.RepeatingCharSequence
     * @param input CharSequence to repeat
     * @param count Repeat-Count
     * @param separator Separator-Sequence to use
     */
    public RepeatingCharSequence(CharSequence input, int count, CharSequence separator) {
        this(input, count);
        this.separator = separator;
    }

    @Override
    public CharSequence subSequence(int start, int end) {
        checkBounds(start);
        checkBounds(end);
        int subLen = end - start;
        if (subLen < 0) {
            throw new IndexOutOfBoundsException("Illegal subSequence-Length: "+subLen);
        }
        return (start == 0 && end == length()) ? this
                    : toString().substring(start, subLen);
    }
    @Override
    public int length() {
        //We return the total length of our CharSequences with the separator 1 time less than amount of repeats:
        return count < 1 ? 0
                : ( (internalCharSeq.length()*count) + (separator.length()*(count-1)));
    }
    @Override
    public char charAt(int index) {
        final int internalIndex = internalIndex(index);
        //Delegate to Separator-CharSequence or Input-CharSequence depending on internal index:
        if(internalIndex > internalCharSeq.length()-1) {
            return separator.charAt(internalIndex-internalCharSeq.length());
        }
        return internalCharSeq.charAt(internalIndex);
    }
    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return count < 1 ? ""
                : new StringBuilder(this).toString();
    }

    private void checkBounds(int index) {
        if(index < 0 || index >= length())
            throw new IndexOutOfBoundsException("Index out of Bounds: "+index);
    }
    private int internalIndex(int index) {
        // We need to add 1 Separator-Length to total length before dividing,
        // as we subtracted one Separator-Length in "length()"
        return index % ((length()+separator.length())/count);
    }
}

使用示例:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    //String input = "12345";
    //StringBuffer input = new StringBuffer("12345");
    StringBuilder input = new StringBuilder("123");
    //String separator = "<=>";
    StringBuilder separator = new StringBuilder("<=");//.append('>');
    int repeatCount = 2;

    CharSequence repSeq = new RepeatingCharSequence(input, repeatCount, separator);
    String repStr = repSeq.toString();

    System.out.println("Repeat="+repeatCount+"\tSeparator="+separator+"\tInput="+input+"\tLength="+input.length());
    System.out.println("CharSeq:\tLength="+repSeq.length()+"\tVal="+repSeq);
    System.out.println("String :\tLength="+repStr.length()+"\tVal="+repStr);

    //Here comes the Magic with a StringBuilder as Input, as you can append to the String-Builder
    //and at the same Time your Repeating-Sequence's toString()-Method returns the updated String :)
    input.append("ff");
    System.out.println(repSeq);
    //Same can be done with the Separator:
    separator.append("===").append('>');
    System.out.println(repSeq);
}

示例输出:

Repeat=2    Separator=<=    Input=123   Length=3
CharSeq:    Length=8    Val=123<=123
String :    Length=8    Val=123<=123
123ff<=123ff
123ff<====>123ff

只使用JRE类(System.arraycopy)并尽量减少临时对象的数量，你可以这样写:

public static String repeat(String toRepeat, int times) {
    if (toRepeat == null) {
        toRepeat = "";
    }

    if (times < 0) {
        times = 0;
    }

    final int length = toRepeat.length();
    final int total = length * times;
    final char[] src = toRepeat.toCharArray();
    char[] dst = new char[total];

    for (int i = 0; i < total; i += length) {
        System.arraycopy(src, 0, dst, i, length);
    }

    return String.copyValueOf(dst);
}

EDIT

如果没有循环，你可以尝试:

public static String repeat2(String toRepeat, int times) {
    if (toRepeat == null) {
        toRepeat = "";
    }

    if (times < 0) {
        times = 0;
    }

    String[] copies = new String[times];
    Arrays.fill(copies, toRepeat);
    return Arrays.toString(copies).
              replace("[", "").
              replace("]", "").
              replaceAll(", ", "");
}

编辑2

使用Collections甚至更短:

public static String repeat3(String toRepeat, int times) {
    return Collections.nCopies(times, toRepeat).
           toString().
           replace("[", "").
           replace("]", "").
           replaceAll(", ", "");
}

然而，我仍然喜欢第一个版本。

使用Dollar就像输入一样简单:

@Test
public void repeatString() {
    String string = "abc";
    assertThat($(string).repeat(3).toString(), is("abcabcabc"));
}

PS:重复工作也为数组，列表，集等
