--description--

Welcome to the 100th Daily Coding Challenge!

Given a string, repeat its characters until the result is exactly 100 characters long. If your repetitions go over 100 characters, trim the extra so it's exactly 100.

--hints--

one_hundred("One hundred ") should return "One hundred One hundred One hundred One hundred One hundred One hundred One hundred One hundred One ".

({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(one_hundred("One hundred "), "One hundred One hundred One hundred One hundred One hundred One hundred One hundred One hundred One ")`)
}})

one_hundred("freeCodeCamp ") should return "freeCodeCamp freeCodeCamp freeCodeCamp freeCodeCamp freeCodeCamp freeCodeCamp freeCodeCamp freeCodeC".

({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(one_hundred("freeCodeCamp "), "freeCodeCamp freeCodeCamp freeCodeCamp freeCodeCamp freeCodeCamp freeCodeCamp freeCodeCamp freeCodeC")`)
}})

one_hundred("daily challenges ") should return "daily challenges daily challenges daily challenges daily challenges daily challenges daily challenge".

({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(one_hundred("daily challenges "), "daily challenges daily challenges daily challenges daily challenges daily challenges daily challenge")`)
}})

one_hundred("!") should return "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!".

({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(one_hundred("!"), "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!")`)
}})
