RE: one line to generate n spaces?

Kevin,
	Keep and array of char[] with what you think may be the max amount
of spaces needed then use the static string function:

String copyValueOf(char[] data, int offset, int count)  

	Pull out as many spaces as you would like.

Subject: one line to generate n spaces?



Is there a method in JDK 1.1.8 to construct a 
String of n spaces without using a loop?  

I've attempted to look in the API for it - 
String, StringBuffer, reflect.Array.

public static String padding(int n)
{
   StringBuffer b = new StringBuffer();

   for (int i=0; i<n; i++) b.append(' ');

   return b.toString();
}
