Implement a function with prototype char *repeat(char *s, int n) so that it creates and returns a string which consists of n repetitions of the input string s. For example: if the input is “Hello” and 3, the output is “HelloHelloHello”. Use only recursive constructs.
I immediately started compiling the answer as it was a pretty straight forward question. But it was not only me who was posting the answer.

So I dug into the code and fixed it. The things started to get challenging when others started to get more compact code, which didn’t let me sit idle.
