How to replace ALL characters in a string with one character

Does anyone know a method that allows you to replace all the characters in a word with a single character?

If not, can anyone suggest a way to basically print _ (underscore) the number of times which is the length of the string itself without using any loops or ifs in the code?

mystring = '_'*len(mystring)

Of course, I'm guessing at the name of your string variable and the character that you want to use.

Or, if you just want to print it out, you can:

print('_'*len(mystring))
