I think a better Python version would be

    print '\n'.join(['Hello world'] * 100)
No need for exec.


I wonder why 430gj9j added exec..

  print "Hello world\n"*100
Would have worked just fine.


He abstracted this loop:

    for i in xrange(100):
        statement
into:

   exec "statement" * 100
The 'no exec' alternatives propose something not as generic since they can only print something a number of times.


Or just

    print "Hello, World\n" * 100
No need for join either, and ends with a newline
