Im writing a math game program in Python and I am having some difficulty with some parts of it. I am very new to Python so bear with me.

I have to display a math problem so it looks like this:
4 * * * *
+ 5 * * * * *
---
->9

my code for this part of the program is as follows:

print(ranNum1)
print("+",ranNum2)
print("---")
print("->",answer)

How would I go about displaying the * marks next to the numbers if the number in the problem are random?

Go into your interpreter and type

>>> n = 5
>>> '*' * n

Does that answer your question?
