Quick Question about Python concatenation

[NATURE.M]

Homework Statement

Lets say we have two strings 'movies' and ' goto'. Now the question indicates to return this combination concatenated n times, except if n is negative, it is the same as if it were 0.

The Attempt at a Solution

Concatenation n times would yield: n*"movies goto"

Now if n is negative it performs in the same way you would expect 0 to perform, so would that just return None ?
Like if n = 0, or n = -4 should it just return None?

Don't you have a python interpreter to try it out in? "None" would be a plausible answer, but I don't think it does that. It returns an empty string. Also plausible.

I was mainly confused with the wording but I think I got it now. Your right it should return the empty string, instead of none. Thanks.
