Multiplying a string by a negative number returns the reversed string multiplied

[Jim-Bar]

Currently, doing *_2"abc will return an empty string. With the patch, the result would be cbacba which is more useful.

In what scenarios is this more useful? I've had the empty string behavior be useful before.

[Jim-Bar]

I cannot objectively claim that it would be more useful than the current behaviour. Still, I encountered a challenge where this feature would have been more useful. What could be done is:

• * <num> <seq> keeps the current behaviour
• * <seq> <num> has the behaviour described by my proposition

[Jim-Bar]

In this particular challenge, this feature would be useful (maybe two times in the same challenge).

I'll implement the suggestion you mentioned - use both behavior.
