Hello you guys, I beginner in Python and I'm also studying more about Python.
I want to multiply some bytes data type to get a random text. My block of code as below:
symbol = b'j|encoding: hexdump'
play_symbol = b'emoji.txt0000000 f0'
bonus_number = int(input("Enter bonus number:"))
full_text = (symbol + play_symbol) * bytes(bonus_number)
print(full_text)
But I get an exception throw TypeError: can't multiply sequence by non-int of type 'bytes' when I run code above.
Enter bonus number:9
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 5, in <module>
full_text = (symbol + play_symbol) * bytes(bonus_number)
TypeError: can't multiply sequence by non-int of type 'bytes'
And I am using python 3.x
Anyone can explain it to me? How can I solve it?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Oh you can NOT multiply
bytedata type together. You onlyaddition (+)them only.Change your code:
full_text = (symbol + play_symbol) * bytes(bonus_number)To
full_text = symbol + play_symbol + bytes(bonus_number)Or you can
multiplywith some integer.
